Anyone else remember Bronco toilet rolls?

It must have been crumble Sunday today, I also made Blackberry and Apple crumble for lunch. My crumble mix is 3-2-1 flour fat sugar.

According to the App only US broking platforms are able to be linked to stockperks. So unless or until that changes UK nominee account holders will have to send a new proof of ownership in every 3 months.

That's why booking through a good quality on line cruise TA is the best option, I would just ring or e-mail them and they would do all the necessary work.

Cutlery comes wrapped in a napkin which will have been handled in the galley, but so has all the crockery. We don't use salt or pepper, so no problem for us there, and so far we have not gone down with noro, maybe we have been lucky, or possibly our less fastidious life style ensures our immune system is operating at peak performance.

Carnival has had loads of bad publicity over the years, from illegally dumping polluted waste water, through paying crew way below average, to loads of noro outbreaks, missed ports etc, and yet they have survived them all and seem to have no problem in filling their cruise ships. So I doubt that this very minor UK noro outbreak is likely to have the top management in the US worried, that is of course if they have even heard about it.

I find paracetamol is a great first defense against colds, flu, upset stomach as well as headaches and general pain relief. It may well be a placebo effect, but it works for me, and is a heck of a lot cheaper than proprietary medicines.

The Thomson court case was a cruise on Thomson Spirit which from the Judges summary was well and truly destroyed. So clearly TUI thought it was important to test the case in the courts even with the risk of what a loss might do to their reputation. Of course it was probably helped by the poor view that the judiciary currently have regarding class actions.

You may well be right, BUT how many cruise lines in the UK have been sued and lost for a noro outbreak? Thomson successfully defended one in 2015.

I do agree that the way P&O is handling this mobility wheelchair and scooter issue, as well as the allocation of evacuation chairs, shows an amazing lack of understanding of the needs of their disabled passengers. It may well be part of a desire to control the number of mobility devices, but as usual P&Os heavy handed way of doing things is making things far worse. They really need to think about asking their disabled passengers to get a clearer understanding of just what their needs and requirements are, rather than going off half *****, as usual.

I seem to remember that P&O said the 1% of passengers referred to the number of confirmed cases on disembarcation and since noro normally lasts 2 days that may be correct, and of course it did not count crew.

If you read down almost to the end you will find the following, it would make more sense to have that as a mich earlier paragraph. "If you’ve filled it in previously and your circumstances have changed, please fill it in again. If your circumstances have not changed, you don't need to do anything".

Ditto.

You usually have to declare any surgery in the last 12 months, or in patient stay. But if the consultant gives you the all clear, it should not affect your premium, however not certain how any radiotherapy or chemotherapy might impact the premium.

Never been charged for this sort of thing in Specsavers, but our old local optician charged me once for replacing the plastic nose pads. Needless to say we never went back.

Did you encounter the dreaded dynamic pricing? Which because of the demand, I would have expected it to apply to every booking.

Rumour on social media is that Noel needs the money to fund his divorce, and Liam to pay for all his illegitimate offspring. But who believes what they read on SM?

I agree re plated meals, of course some people liked to think that having it served was rather posh, but of course Downton showed that the posh people actually served themselves whilst the Butler held the the platter.

I never have to ask my TA, they always send me an amended statement as an e-mail attachment.

I guess your experience with the FCC was an example of the poor training of their sales agents, because we certainly used our FCC as deposit on one of our cruises.

Try the Nationwide flex plus account, which comes with free worldwide travel insurance, for the £13 per month account fee. Plus of course extra cost for pre-existing medical conditions, which are far less costly than the average. Plus free Europe wide breakdown cover and mobile phone insurance.

There is no commitment until you part with your money.

High street TAs deal primarily with land based holidaymakers, very few have real cruise experts, whereas the online cruise agents are specialists.

I would try a reliable on line Travel agent, they mainly have excellent agents who will ensure you get the right asewers. Sorry we cannot recommend one but social media should be able to point you in the right direction.

Why would he have needed to check when we were still in the EU, albeit on our way out.
