    I imagine they didn't have health insurance and are now stuck paying the ridiculous repatriation fee for bodies. It costs a fortune, apparently.

    I was also threatened with court and ended up being interviewed under caution(when 7mths pregnant) and only managed to come to an 'agreement' a few weeks before kai was born!

    They wouldn't admit full liability, but I didn't have enough proof to prove it was them at fault, not me....They ended up wiping half off the amount they were trying to make me pay, I agreed to paying the other half otherwise it was up to me to fight it in court and given that I was heavily pregnant, couldn't really be bothered!! I am still paying them £80pm that I can't really afford.....I HATE THEM!!!

    any body repatriated has to be put in a lead coffin and it takes ages to sort out.
    What were they thinking :eek:

    i know!!

    Now I've forgotten what convention I'm meant to be using in order to ask a question - so I'll just do it in bold!

    Can anyone recommend a cup/beaker with a straw? Annabel loves sucking liquid through a straw from a littel carton (we've had a couple of instances where mummy has forgotten her cup!), but she doesn't get juice - just water normally. She drinks much more liquid than normal this way, which is great, but I'm not buying her juice all the time just to ensure she drinks lots of fluids ;) Plus it's not as healthy as water and I ahve no way of watering a carton down.
    So I'm looking for a plastic cup version. It needs to have a lid/sealed top otherwise she's liable to spill it everywhere. I've looked in all the shops I've been to recently but not seen anything suitable.

    Should I just buy a pack of plastic straws and supervise very carefully?! Please can anyone help?

    It's just been on our local news. :eek:

    I'm assuming it was cheaper to pay for an easyjet flight than it was to pay to transport a dead body back home. :o

    How about re-using a MacDonalds coke cup?
