Flew back from Al Ain yesterday and was delighted to find on boarding the plane that the awfully nice check in girl at Dubai International Airport had moved me from an ordinary aisle seat to row 37 and one of those very generous leg room seats by the big emergency exit two thirds of the way along the plane. Praise Emirates yet again.
There were lots of Scouts (Boy Scouts when I were a lad!) on their way to the Jamboree being held in Chelmsford just now. They were from the Philippines and Kuwait and there were 30 or 40 of them altogether. When I got to Heathrow, however, I came across 60 - 70 more, all from the USA this time. Good to see! Be prepared!
Following the shock I got on entering the on board toilet near my seat, I thought I should really hurtle back out and shout at the rather large chap who had just left the loo to ask, 'Oi! What did you do in there?' That way, I pointed out to everyone that he did something very smelly and secondly for those following me, that I didn't do it!!!
I want to say that we are a disgrace as a nation. After the Glasgow fire bomb incident of just the other week, you may be aware that anyone dropping anyone else off at an airport in the UK must park their car in a short stay car park ... they aren't doing that and no one is stopping them stopping their vehicles as near to the terminal as possible, blocking roads and pavements so no one can get through until they've dropped off whoever it is they have unloaded. It's chaos, probably worse than ever before.
