Thank You Stansted ...

[sunny-dave]

... but if I'd wanted an "Enhanced Shopping Experience", I'd have gone to Bluewater (or some other Temple of Mammon).

What I actually wanted was somewhere to sit in reasonable comfort whilst I waited for my plane ... but you've removed virtually all the seating and replaced it with horrible fast food outlets and overpriced shops selling useless tat.

You are a bunch of useless twits (sp?) and I shall add you to the list of "Airports I No Longer Use".

However ... that was a couple of days ago.

Now I'm getting stuck into some cold white wine and some excellent seafood tapas. Palma is lovely and they even seem to have laid on some sort of festival for my weekend away.

Cheers :+)

Hi Dave, is Gness with you?

If you think Stansted is a shopping mall, you should see Heathrow.

Haha, whilst you are enjoying the sunshine abroad, we are having a heatwave here - I'm SURE all other ABers will back me up!?! Take no notice of the news/weather channels, it is NOT wet, cloudy and miserable here at all.

I've never had a problem finding a comfy seat at Stansted ;-)

Remember to send us a postcard.

It was full Chris - they had bouncers on the entrance making it clear that you had to be buying a meal if you intended to sit down ...

[sunny-dave]

Psybbs - I have checked my luggage and can find no trace of a stowawayed small irish person ...

[sunny-dave]

Wolfie - I'll be back in a couple of days - probably before any postcard has reached the mainland, let alone been subject to the tender mercies of the Royal Mail ...

[Psybbo]

Ah, you can enjoy your break safely, then!

[sunny-dave]

PS - if 'burglar bill' or any of his internet savvy co-criminals are reading this, my house is not empty ... and if you think I'm big you should see my dog-sitter and his hound ...

I offered my services as a bag carrier, Psyb......he just laughed.....

One day he will experience the strength of the Irish woman.......♣

[Psybbo]

Good to see you back, Gness, wherever you were

[gness]

In far off Peterborough mostly, Psyb.......entertaining my brother and his family......

Do you know....they up their house and contents insurance when I visit..... I ask you!

[Psybbo]

Very wise of them x

According to my friends in the know today is Balearic Day. I'm jealous, have a great time.

[sunny-dave]

Huge street market & lots of noise and excitement, Prudie.

It went on quite late last night ...

Pity - I am looking for used stamps for Oxfam. I am also looking for old and not so old postcards for them to sell. Our shop is a nice wee shop and only a short distance from my home.

Enjoy your short trip and I hope that you are greeted with much excitement when you get home. I get ignored when I return home from anywhere.
