Bingo. We are getting 20 to 30 per flight at the moment and as its winter and overall demand to Vancouver goes down so does the size of planes.

Regional size planes are not easy to load skis into on top of all the other bags.

Im guessing he might be loading or offloading a pile of them from an aircraft or has just tripped over a set left randomly lying around the airport.

How does the sea air smell wafting in from the pristine waters of the Irish Sea?
Were you walking along with a styrofoam carton of fish and chips perhaps.

Not done fish chips yet, had the full breakfast tho, no sausage...(too salty)

The 99% humidity here is better for us.

Now if this was CNN I could refer to you as a reporter embedded in the area and then ask you

Is Blackpool really that bad these days (a shithole) or is that just bad media reporting? I hear they have a new roller coaster at the Pleasure Beach.

In a Family guy Asian reporters voice

“I am standing near the tower in Blackpool, on a wind swept prom, and I can report that the area is much worse than I anticipated, roller shutter doors appear to be the new shop fronts and salt has eaten most of the buildings without any repair.”

I note that pedestrians are not sacrificing themselves on the streets here in Lancashire.

Would appear that cars have the right of way on the roads, who would have thought that would work and be safer for pedestrians? I supose the human right to to have power over and right of way on the roads trumps safety in Canada
