Would be interested in learning why you are asking.  Are you conducting research, working for a travel company or just asking out of interest?

Well there was a chihuahua(actually walking rather than being carried) that was eyeing up one of the displays for a call of nature.......

 Also forgot to mention that had I not been offered a cut price ticket, I would have paid exactly the same amount at the door as I would have online, which included the dreaded admin fee. 

Won't be going back.

German market isn't bad; wonder what it will be like post-Brexit   I usually go to graze.  Can't get the Haribo aeroplanes as they're still only sold in German airports......

Does my head in too!

I've never had any lessons on e-mail etiquette, it's basic commonsense.  Gets very frustrating when you have to include the line "please reply to me only, despite my multi-recipient message".  I actually had someone reply all to ask what I meant by the above request 

And Amazon has started Black Friday sale, apparently 12 days early......

My local freebie newspaper featured the poppy sellers at the local Sainsbury's store and mentioned the recycling programme.

If you've wondered what to do with your poppy then all Sainsburys stores are offering the recycling service, so it's a great way to continue supporting a very worthy cause.  As I discovered yesterday, the modern poppy is very easy to take apart and reassemble.  Well done to the Royal British Legion for being eco-friendly!

It's far better than last year's offering.

Morrisons is quite good; young boy learning from Guinness Book of Records (always a good present for kids).  House of Fraser is just a re-hash of last year.  Aldi feature a carrot.

As for M&S, I felt underwhelmed when I saw it for the first time.  Perhaps it will grow on me, but doubt it.  Seems to sum up M&S at the moment!

And now Robert Vaughn.

I remember him as Napoleon Solo but didn't realise he'd been in Corrie as well.  

I am a dog lover, but think this is a step too far...

Visited large garden centre near Birmingham Airport yesterday.  It was very busy, not only with people but dogs large and small.  This business now has a Costa near the entrance in addition to their own restaurant at the back of the store and there's also a fresh food section near the tills.  What concerned me was I heard barking coming from the restaurant.  Really put me off even having a drink there.

A local garden centre that sells food has banned dogs for hygiene reasons.  I thought this applied to all such premises.  I realise guide dogs are an exception as it is obvious they are not just the family pet.

Hi Sam, Terry's Choc Orange is available all year round, but like all chocs they seem to be promoted more at Christmas.  New varieties too, popping candy and plain choc.  Have also recently shrunk in size.......
