I think the only surprise is that they did it in full sight

But that said we recently brought back 3 glass bottles of drink and one non glass bottle of Coke in our checked bags and all arrived in good order.

Top tip?:  never throw away plastic bottles you use on holiday.  Pack them empty in your checked bags and they act as shock absorbers

We are taking over the easyJet operation there - for some unfathomable reason they decided to send me to help set it up the "new" way. This apparently is a "reward" for being nominated in the "Employee of the Year" awards  :angel:

Details are still a bit sketchy - I was only asked yesterday so the finer points are still to be confirmed, but I would imagine I'll be plonked in the Hampton by Hilton there. Will a suitable daily allowance I hope  eastdrink048

Is that in Bristol? Our hotel is a couple of miles away from the airport and not really near the city centre. Farmland behind it. Smells of slurry.

Journey home was a bit shit with driving rain and gusty winds until Reading, thence Gatwick to pick up "a few" boxes of stuff for the project office in Bristol. And a mannequin. The "few" boxes entirely fill the Audi A4 estate including the passenger seat. I am meant to be taking a colleague up on Monday morning...
