    I do hope they're sustainably grown eco eggs from organic fowls with a pedigree going back to ancient times, hand gathered when the sun's energy peaks just before dawn ......

    ... otherwise patrons will struggle to work out how to "share" this "secret" with their friends on social media platforms..... with the unique wording of "delicious", or suspect looking (paid to link teams?) links to "friends" suggesting "This is where we should go!"

    And another thing if I were in charge .....

    I'd have one syllabus, using one set of text books as core books - so if/when kids moved schools they'd step straight into "the same stuff" they just left.

    And school dinners - why isn't there one nutrition department working out all the menus/recipes?

    Same with uniforms - why aren't they all made to one design

    It seems to me that a lot of councils/authorities spend all day reinventing the wheel.

    PN for PM. :) PN for PM. :) PN for PM. :) PN for PM. :) PN for PM. :)

    Sorry PN, I didn't mean to insult you. :o Given the low capabiites of most politicians it is rather insulting to make that suggestion. You'd do a helluva better job than kitten heels or mostly anyone else.

    In respect of what? Less busy than some (eg Heathrow/ Gatwick) but busier than others. Possibly a higher proportion of chartered flights, busier in school holidays......

    bars ... ?

    On the windows?
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    If your consumption is going to be high, it may be more :money: to buy lounge access.

    I've flown from Birmingham. It is teeny tiny compared with LGW and LHR. More like Luton, only without the hilltop.

    Don't remember anything about bars though. It did however allow me to visit the bars in Dublin for a weekend. Thought it was quiet when we got there. Gatwick and Heathrow were snowed in.

    Maggie, I've been thinking about you. VD on BBC2 this morning was doing a segment on PIP cases. It seemed to be ongoing. She could be interested in yours if you don't get any success.
