You know what the British public are like over the simplest of changes - they whine and whinge and as this is a very tiny country geographically they may not get their heads round any clock time difference between Scotland and England and subsequent amendments on all time schedules. Anyway, it's all academic - it just won't ever happen. It's too daft for words.

This begs the question - why even bother wasting your time responding to what you consider twaddle posted by someone you consider to be a plonker? :confused:

But not really a biggie in the grand scheme of things, right? Once it's fixed it's fixed? I was more taking issue with the usual standard of twaddle that the plonker who brought it up posts on here.

Whenever I come back from the US and visit the 'restrooms' at Heathrow, I always feel glad to have my privacy back with no great big gap under the door or space between the door and the wall where from a certain angle people can see you sitting on the throne!

Even when I fly the Teesside flag so proudly at the bottom of each of my posts? :p
CADreaming I once flew from Seattle to Amsterdam then onto Teesside. A real nightmare on the return journey. 1 inch of snow meant a cancelled flight from Teesside. Spent 8 hours in a queue trying to get onto another flight. Eventually put up in airport hotel for the night. Got to Amsterdam the next day. Spent 6 hours on the tarmac at Amsterdam due to faulty wiring. Then spent 3 hours in Boston (unscheduled stop) as we had to get off the plane and go through customs/immigration. Then few onto Minniapolis (again unscheduled), where we spent another hour trying to get permission to take off after a crew change. Eventually arrived in Seattle 1 day and 11 hours late. Not been back to the Boro since but thinking of going in October if I can convince myself my 2 cavaliers, Monmouth and, well you can probably guess the bitch's name, will survive in the kennel for 2 weeks without me. Bet M'brough has changed in 10 years....is Acklam still relatively OK? |

Good grief how many Boro lads and lasses are there on this website? Didn't like to fess up to coming from Teesside in case I was looked down upon by the southerners. Hoped my name might mean people think I was from Wales instead:D

Bet M'brough has changed in 10 years....is Acklam still relatively OK? the fact that there is a good uni has really helped the town i feel. Ackam is still there and still fine. I have only been away tho 3 months - cant imagine being away 10 years!!! It does feel like home to me even tho i have lived in london for 25 years (mum lives in the boro) the people are friendly and down to earth. Hmm maybe i will fly into Heathrow then get a train here - but think i will give the amsterdam/teesside route one go sometime this year |
