Don't know about their fares, but from looking at their map - if they think
Malta is anywhere near Greece then I would be extremely worried.

Typical - a yank who doesn't know anything about irony!

Yes - I know all about insert boxes in base maps. I live in the UK where
the Shetland Islands are regularly placed right along side Aberdeen, and the
Scilly Isles placed about 10 yards away from Penzance!

Come on, it's Friday and life's too short to be serious for the weekend.

I expect most airlines are well aware of geography even though
their consumer route maps may not be to scale. Perhaps you are
not familiar with maps that show places far off the base map in
inset boxes.

Great - no irony and no sense of humour either.

Maybe it should have been you they threw in to that crypt today.

It wasn't irony, it was downright silly, and no worse than your
own comment for being out of place.

You seem to have an inflated opinion of your own ability to
convey humor. Those least able to tell a joke are the ones who
claim the most that their auditors have no sense of humor.

I'm with Layezee on this one.

Too much of a desire to "correct" things, Dave.

I know that Cnut was King of England (and hence London), but what does he
have to do with Krakow ?

Is 'chav' a fairly new word? I only heard it for the first time in
London a couple of weeks back.

No, it's been around a while, but I think it's more prevalent now than
it used to be. I think I only heard it in conversation for the first
time last summer. In some parts of the country (e.g. Newcastle) I've
heard 'chaver' (sp?) instead.
