P&O update and the future as seen by Paul Ludlow
Adawn47 replied to Megabear2's topic in P&O Cruises ( UK )
We have an Aurora 16 night cruise to the Canaries booked for December 2023. It was booked last Feb after several cancelled cruises. We got a good deal for a select fare balcony, but if things continue down the path that P&O seems to be taking then it will be our final cruise with them. I totally understand the need for fares to increase, but they also need to understand that I/we won't pay more for an inferior product. Avril- 36 replies

P&O Cruisers - What are things like where YOU are?
Adawn47 replied to Host Sharon's topic in P&O Cruises ( UK )
You must have used them all up when you last had Entinox. You can have some of mine just in case.😂😂😂😂😂😂 I hope all goes well for you today and that you will soon be more mobile and pain free. On the subject of crockery I have milk and cream jugs, tureens and a couple of gravy boats, all only used on special occasions. No teapot, as we don't drink tea😬, but I do use sugar bowls and a butter dish. Avril -
There is I think, a significant difference between covid and norovirus. Covid is airborne and is difficult to avoid when with groups of people who don't wear masks. Norovirus however is contact spread and therefore much simpler to avoid, basic good hygeine, regular hand washing and and keeping your fingers away from your face. In 10 years of regular cruising, on some ships where norovirus became a big problem, we have never once contracted it. Avril

My daughter serves individual Yorkshire puddings with a dollop of jam and ice cream. I've never tried it, but they love it. Sis -

Not even the curry sauce, bro😲 The only addition to fish, chips and 'real' mushy peas is salt, vinegar and/or tartare sauce. Curry is for rice. Sis -

Nice to see 'real' mushy peas on a plate kalos😋and not those dry green lumpy things in a little pot. I hope both you and Mrs K are having a lovely break. Avril -

I am having a problem with Amazon at the moment. A delivery that was expcted and out for delivery was suddenly 'undeliverable' Assuming there had been an accident with the parcel, I reordered the following day on a next day delivery. Tracking said 'arrived at facility' Two hours later 'undeliverable'. I now have to wait 5-10 business days for a refund. I'm wondering if their drivers are on strike🤔 Avril -

They said it was The Lone Piper's Lament. I don't know if that's the correct title though. Avril -

I have watched the entire funeral from 9.30am and I can honestly say that I have never seen, nor will I ever see again, such an amazing and incredible ceremony. The honour and outpouring of love and respect for our late Queen was astounding, from the lying in state to her internment at Windsor. Both ceremonies were beautiful, but what touched me most, and what I will always remember, was the haunting sound of the lone piper slowly walking away. I couldn't stop crying, and now I'm at it again. Avril -

When 19, married, buying a house and with a baby, I knew first-hand what is was like to live from payday to payday and have to count every ha'penny. Make do and mend was the order of the day and I was grateful for the bag of food Mum would help out with from time to time. We lived like that for 2 years and never once did I lose my manners towards anyone, my situation was not of their making. Thankfully we quickly moved on from there, but I have never forgotton what it was like, so I can only assume that the rude people attending the food banks are in an unfamiliar situation. That however is no excuse for rudeness and they should think twice before they bite the hand that feeds them. Avril -

I was told it would put hairs on my chest. It was only when I was about 10, that I realised I didn't want hairs on my chest😲 I'm only glad I never ate any😂 Avril -

I used to get quite a few of those texts too🤬. I blocked the numbers when they came in and haven't have any for some time now.😊 I make my own mincemeat too. No candid peel, (replaced with chopped dried apricots), nuts and glace cherries. There's always a jar or two sitting in the pantry😋 Double cream would be my choice. Avril -

Ask them, I did and they have put ours onto an eight weekly repeat, including my BP meds. They probably think you prefer them monthly, it won't hurt to ask. Avril -

Don't stress about it Dave. When that happens to us I phone the surgery, explain the problem and they issue our scripts earlier. I'm sure your surgery will have a similar procedure in place. Avril -

After reading your post Sandra, I have looked on Amazon and it seems to be the ideal one for me. As I only need one for two people, would the xxl 5.5 will be too big do you think? Avril
