Back in the "green and pleasant land"

badkitti*, 13 August, 2009 at 09:16 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 6

Finally made it back to the UK and am feeling a lot less tired. Sat next to a man with a knife on the plane - great security - and am mentally composing an outraged letter to the airline and airport, but am too happy to be back to be too outraged.

Missing my cats a lot, and the school, but will try to drown my sorrows this evening by spending money I don't have on fabulous stuff for teaching in - so Monsoon have a sale on?

Edited for truely awful typos

    Welcome back! Yes, Monsoon have a sale on. It's good stuff as well.

    What kind of knife did he have?

    Hurrah! Welcome home!

    I'm not surprised you are missing everything - it must have been an experience you will never forget.

    Thanks all

    It was a pocket knife and the guy was using it to make toothpicks. I just whispered to him that the staff would keep it if they saw him with it, and he looked shocked and hid it. Wasn't too worried as tanzanians all carry knives anyways. What was odder still was the message from the steward as we mid take off "Would the passenger standing please take his seat - NOW!"

    Shall look forward to monsoon sale then Smiley smile as OH is being understanding that of course I need to look fabulous at work - am sure it won't last!

    Flowery - it will all seem like a dream in a month!

    Welcome back Badkitti. Seems ages ago that you went. Tell us the highlights?

    The joys of African flights... I've been on them where my fellow passengers have had dogs in their handluggage (one weed on my feet) and where one sat in the central seat of 3 holding a huge Moose head with enormously long antlers ?
