I made my own list of who has been obnoxious to Sacha.
You must be very forgiving if one isn't ITMA.

ITMA. Aren't you a bit young for that? ;-)

I wish you were right.

Of course one of them is ITMA
but as I've said before, naming names just asks for more squabbling.

It's
such a shame because that Plymouth-Roscoff crossing is wonderfully simple as
it goes around midnight from Plymouth and you drive off early in the
morning, straight into your holiday.

Roscoff is a 15 hour drive from here.

Hmm, bit much for a w/e in Devon, I do agree.

To fly to Jersey from Schiphol one has to travel via Luton and it probably
costs
more than two weeks in Turkey. In the good old days there was a direct flight
to
Jersey, which took an odd route flying down the Belgian coast crossing the
channel at Dover and then very low along the south coast before turning
towards
Jersey. I took it once to join a boat trip.

Sounds an interesting flight! Rather strangely, there is now no longer a
flight from Jersey to Paris, so one has to fly north to London to then fly
south - and over Jersey - to Paris. Two of my children did that last year
and I suggested that next time they fly to Dinan and see if they can get a
train connection.
Two years ago when we had to fly to Jersey rather suddenly for a funeral, it
cost three of us just over £200 each to go in and out for the day - 2
flights of around 40 minutes each from Exeter. I'm sure the CI routes must
be among the most expensive in the world.
