Parking at the airport then, bit far for a cab. Will you do an Amsterdam report? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yen_powell Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Still there a short while ago as I walked back from the supermarket. I had a little squeeze of the Queen's crown (treason?) and it was damp and it hasn't rained here today so they must be out overnight. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're back to the UK for a few days next week. Mandy has to visit a customer in Cardiff, so I'm flying over with her and then I'm heading to my mum's for a couple of days. Then we're meeting in London on Friday and heading up to Cambridgeshire to see my lads and Mandy's son and then flying back on Sunday morning. €100 for the return flight for me. My lads are coming over at the beginning of June for a week. They got return flights for just over £100 for the pair of them! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good question , but as he only drove about an hour on the first journey and then about 6 hours on the second journey I'd say he was well within his driving hours . 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
