All very sad. Perhaps it has been mentioned elsewhere but how many people face redundancy?

Never kept any records but started with a Dragon Rapide at pre-Heathrow London Airport and ended with a Classic Flight Rapide last year, and that was by way of Air France Dakota, BEA Viking, DC4, Dan Air Ambassador, Aeroflot Tu 104 and Il 18, Comet 4, Vanguard, BOAC Stratocruiser, TWA Constellation, PanAm 707, countless Heralds and F28s, Dc9s, 727s, 737s ending with a few MD-10s and twin turboprops.

Sacrilege. I think he meant soda – not sure what else fizzy anyone could possibly drink with whisky. For me it’s a generous glass of Bruichladdich, Highland Park, Scapa or Lagavulin with a tiny dash of water. I used to like Laphroaig but found it was just too peaty. Mind you, as I said elsewhere, I drink almost no spirits now, anyway….:)

That’s only so that you can make your 1,035th post.:diablo:

Actually that is a very funny post, Pagen! Thank you. After that I have nothing more to add!:D:D

Pete. Read post 74.
Jim.

So you’ll have to take flight somewhere very exotic!!!!!!:D

Pete. PLEASE don’t tell me you believe in numbers they put out, we all know figures can be manipulated to give good or bad results, or what any Government dept want us to believe, simply by number crunching.
Many moons ago, in fact more than I care to remember, I was a Probationer Police Constable for 2 yrs prior to keeping my nose clean and at the end of the 2 yrs, being a fully fledged Copper.
Right, scene now set, At the end of each month, all probationers had to fill in forms stating exactly how many arrests, speeders, and every other breach of the Law you had dealt with. T.B.H. there were slack months,and the Sgt then went over each of our Forms, and told us to add an offence here, and another there etc, Get the picture?, the figures were manipulated just so that, when my Sgt produced the Forms submitted to the Insp, they made good reading, as if everyone had reached their targets.I long ago stopped believing, figuratively speaking.

So, you are implying that there are more than 15 million Mexicans in California? I don’t think so. I am sure Jerry Brown and Arnie, before him, would be interested in the information.
