It's my strong Google-Fu G  , I wanted to know who owned them! Nice that it stayed in British hands... Cheers B Now that's a new one "Goggle FU" , very fitting I might add. and concerning Bristol........common sense has prevailed, only this could happen in this day and age in Britain. The old style Bristol cars were so graceful and pleasing to the eye.
If you are doing nothing, how do you know when you are finished?

Does this mean we'll be seeing a Bristol hybrid Why not, plenty of room for electric motors and batteries? You'll probably be first in line with Cicerone just behind you

Malta, you say for weeks, how's the sun tan?  It's a tough life G, but I guess someone's got to do it! Wish I hadn't given up Latin at the first chance... B B*gger Latin and B"gger Malta. Unlike you, I hate air travel. I'm currently writing my next book: " Great Airport Departure Lounges I Have Not Known" Matter of fact, I think we should start a thread on this. Mine to start: Schipol. Crap food, miserable people behind desks and lose your luggage at the drop of a hat! G Well you could possibly be accused of being British/Welsh in manner so it is not surprising you dislike AMS. Of course I am just surmising from the tone of the posts  The Dutch mind works differently and so you need to approach it with a smile. I fly there regularly and you just need to adjust to the Dutch mental logicbomb. Force on a strong smile, walk up to the desk and say you have just had a wonderful week touring the country but need to get home for a family problem and would they be kind enough to assist you. This appeals to the Dutch mind on several levels and results in them usually being more helpful than most people. If you walk up with a cloud over your head they do tend to switch off, as do most airport staff these days. The noodle bar near to the main technical toy outlet is the best food place in the building. The burger king outside on the ground layer has the reputation as one of the worst in their company yet continues to run. AMS is a customer of mine so I will say no more  I am just waiting for EasySquat (a.k.a. the Orange slime in my books) to start providing their staff with low voltage cattle prods to increase the load speed and stop "discussions". My strongest dislike is Luton. £1 for drop off. Change the medication someone.
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

I gave up flying in 1965, it was civilised in those days,  you could fly from Coventry with your car on board to Le Touquet - the plane was a Bristol Freighter so I'm not off topic - and be motoring along the Routes National a couple of hours after leaving home

AMS is a customer of mine so I will say no more I envy you. I'm a customer of THEIRS and that's a much worse situation to be in!. I really do find the place appalling. It's the lost luggage thing which gets to me. I use CityHopper from Cardiff and then Schipol as my link for long hauls on a pretty regular basis At the last count, they have lost or mislaid my luggage on nine occasions  G

Any chance I can borrow your passsport?  G No issue there, only problem is that they may not let you back into the Principality, but I suppose that could be a merciful relief!
