Some cultural information about Britain. English people are decisive, Scottish people are faffers. 10th of November any good for you?

If we start walking now...

There was no kicking or screaming involved in my day off. All it means is that I don't get to do sound for Abbatoir, the Abba heavy metal tribute band.

If the Scotches get teh 9:53 from Embra to York on the 27th, then we can arrive at 13:45 at an approximate cost of £22.50

 

York to the dog basket seems to be about £13 and no problems reported on that route.

 

Return on Sunday can be done from Leeds to Glasgow for about £22, and to Edinbugh for £21.60, both leaving Leeds at 12:08.

Good fucking god, it's no wonder you Scottishes lost at Culloden: you couldn't make up your fucking minds which side to play for.

But yeah, 10 Nov's fine. As long as the rot stops there.

Which airline are you looking at, if i may be nosey?

Right, for flipping hecks sake...

 

10th November then. It's done. Don't change it again or I'll thcweam.

Aww, I can't edit the title.

The ones I'm looking at today are Air Transat  - including taxes it was going to be about $475. 

Last week I could have gotten a seat on an US airline (I think may have been Delta, but don't remember for sure) for $310, including all taxes. I'm hoping something like that comes up again.

Blimey, it'll be fucking January by the time we get around to meating the way the schedule is slipping. I can make the 10th of November as things currently stand, but no more slipperyage please!

Ah... i know i keep getting email promos from Zoom (flyzoom.ca) with all sorts of specials. Have you looked at them? They had flights (one way) from $99 (before taxes and such).

No, never heard of it. I'll check it out. You know of this company?

Jayzus, you're worse than a bunch of women in a clothes shop... *cough*

 

Mr Manthorp, since 10th of November might be feasible as it's after payday, do you by any really remote chance still have dogbasketness for two Londoners? We can sleep really close together, funnily enough - we'd even bring sleeping bags'n'all, so a space on some sort of floor would suffice. Ithankyou.

 

Also, I'm a bit confused about where the meat is, where Manthrop Towers are, etc (yes I know I've been there before, but I'm SO much older and forgetful now).

I've used them a couple of times, and I kknow others on here have too.

 

They're OK, pretty basic though. If you can get a cheap seat on another airline I'd probably go for that instead. If you go Zoom it's welll worth paying the extra for 'premium economy' - basically extra leg room and the stewards actually acknowledge your existence.

 

Where you flying from?

We've flown with Zoom - they're no frills, but fine. You get more legroom with the usual seats than you do with Air Canada. Certainly no worse than Air Transat (and maybe better since i've heard real horror stories from people who've flown with Air Transat).

She's considering Air Transat. I've heard real horror stories about that airline. Zoom couldn't possibly be any worse.



Well, the regular economy seats have way more legroom than Air Canada, for example, so unless she's 6'8" or something, the regular economy would probably be fine.

>>She's considering Air Transat. I've heard real horror stories about that airline. Zoom couldn't possibly be any worse.

 

I've had my share of Zoom horror stories - nothing like being delayed by 23 hours at Gatwick Airport, when no one from the airline seems to have a clue what's going on.

 

But point taken. When Zoom works they're fine.

 

>>Well, the regular economy seats have way more legroom than Air Canada, for example, so unless she's 6'8" or something, the regular economy would probably be fine.

 

8-O really?! I only just fit my legs in the seats we had when flying cattle class (I'm 5'11"), and my missus was in pain most of the way (she's 6'1")

I'd be flying out of Toronto. I'm 5'3 so can squeeze into pretty tight places if I have to.

So are we for sure for sure? Its the 10th, come hell or hight water? 

If it changes again I'm flouncing.
