I cracked a joke about the refund policy if the flight turned into a cruise over the Atlantic and he really didn't find it funny. Service went downhill after that. :tape:

I'd be interested to try WestJet or Porter going to Toronto, I love the YouTube xmas videos WestJet do that makes it look like they might actually care.


Zing.

If flying Toronto/NYC we always fly Porter. I once flew Westjet to Vegas...never again...but probably ok for a short hop.

Every day, there's the 20mph flashing lights for the stupid school zone.

All day.

Annoying because the school closed 4 years ago and they never rezoned it and the cops like to play peek-a-boo from the carpark. .....

I'd be speaking to someone on the council about such nonsense.

I admire your optimism that they'd be prepared to give up a prime revenue generating zone.

Next they'll be trying to tell you that red light cameras are for safety ... :lol:

NC doesn't have either red light or speed cameras. :)

I've not seen any speed cameras (though I have seen signs that say 'speed monitored by aircraft :blink:). There are a handful of red light cameras though, but a lot of them are being removed from where they once were, so maybe there's hope.

One got me turning right one morning because I apparently didn't stop long enough, so now I just sit there and piss everybody off until they turn green because I care more about my $100.00 than their being on time.

My SIL got pulled over by a cop for doing that. It's not illegal so no citation. I assume the cop thought something was wrong because 95% people will turn right on a red if the road is clear. I bet she was on her phone though.

Probably making sure she wasn't asleep or something.

Makes sense if there's a camera though, not worth the risk of a fine.

I think you are supposed to count to 3 after stopping at a stop sign/ red light
