That's Us Up The Swanee Without A Paddle

[Bobbisox1]

Border Force taking strike action the day we fly (Manchester) as it was around £450 cheaper when booking than flying from our local airport, Manchester is one of those striking whilst Newcastle is not, so I decided to change flights (RA)for £45 pp each way , there's 4 of us, should be £180, we had already paid £1,891.84 for the Manchester flights, as often happens , the N/C flights have come down although I knew we wouldn't be refunded the difference, the cost of changing has come in at a staggering £853 for 4 of us which we won't pay
Merry Christmas all you Strikers

a sole operator...?

[Bobbisox1]

That’s him , that’s why he’s crabby all the time

[Bobbisox1]

When have I bullied you ?
Stop feeling so precious

[Meaghan27]

I'm not precious I just think it's unnecessary all this slagging off of people you don't like, why not just ignore them?

[DTCwordfan]

Meaghan, just look at the 'I'm going to spend my night thread' - it's all linked and Bobbi doesn't need this sort of excrement - as you would object if it came your way. It started way back too and has even involved Facebook.

[Meaghan27]

Fair enough, did not realise this forum could be so toxic at times.

[DTCwordfan]

Unfortunately yes but not like the olde days......

[jourdain2]

There are obviously wheels within wheels, Meaghan27 - that's probably an awful lot of hamsters pattering away. I wonder who feeds them? I don't know either, but it's sad.

Re. O.P. My elder daughter and family are due to fly back into Manchester on Christmas Eve. Delays will probably put paid to seeing them over Christmas, they'll be so tired and fed-up. :(

[Bobbisox1]

But I live to tell the tale , their objective isn’t working

[Bobbisox1]

I think that’s where it’s going to bite Jourdain , when passport control isn’t there , I wish them well and hope things go smooth x

[jourdain2]

Same to you Bobbi x

[Bobbisox1]

I’m sure things will work out , they have a way of untangling themselves Jourdain

Gosh . How I miss Mandy's Mum on A.B these days.

[Bobbisox1]

Ah that’s nice of you looking round for me Gully, yep that was me so you see I’m still here :0) that’ll be around 8 years ago won’t it? when my daughter was diagnosed with cancer and I was desperate to talk to anyone outside my family?
But thanks for missing me as Mandisma ,but I’m here now so alls well again :0))))

[Bobbisox1]

I wasn’t allowed to say as I was suspended by an over zealous AB editor pet ,no reason given but that was in the bad old days ;0)

[Bobbisox1]

Like yourself you mean? Yea :0))
