But lets start a campaign...all chant after me now...private jet, private jet#<br /><br />CW - Good choice. We didn't have a choice. We could fly direct from Belgrade for not very much or via somewhere else in Europe for three times as much. So with BA we are stuck. So pleased you aren't having the hassles.<br /><br />Victoria - What i don't know about renting out your house isn't worth knowing. And don't even start me on storage places...<br /><br />Plan B - we are going to be down the road from you - Mum and Dad live in Barnes. Will be back week after next. We MUST meet for a quick coffee. Bring everyone to play on the common with scooters. If they line them up against the wall I'll be first in line to be shouting at them.Dorset Dispatcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10457466586411004146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3519883976018465014.post-2066160484956637692010-03-18T23:04:36.181+01:002010-03-18T23:04:36.181+01:00Oh no!!!

A less pleasant journey and timings, but now I'm very relieved, as our imminent holiday would be ruined by a lack of flight. <br /><br />I feel for you, with the move and all the stress that involves. I hope you can sort an easy solution so that the return to the UK is as hassle-free as possible. <br /><br />And, yes, the BA staff are probably shooting themselves in the foot, just like the PO workers last autumn.Catharine Withenayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06936767499911371984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3519883976018465014.post-52262727200378879732010-03-17T23:20:26.688+01:002010-03-17T23:20:26.688+01:00Aargh.

When my moved back from France she forgot to do something or other with the dog and the vet so he's had to stay there for another 6 months! (the dog, not the vet). She picks him up next weekend. I have a friend who's BA cabin crew and many of them hate the strikes as much as the rest of us. Seems to be a few firebrands causing the trouble.
