Bill, I am blushing to my roots. I would only point out one slight point in case anyone comes to visit our beautiful part of England. You actually came to Manningtree Station. We did have a station in Hadleigh, even Roy has never known a working station there. It closed in 1967 under what was known as the Beeching Axe. Oddly, and currently there is talk of reopening the line as a tramway!

I hope that you do not mind me pointing that out. I am deeply touched by your comments, and am incandexcent that it should all end on such a sour note thanks to AA. If the crew feel that they are neither able or willing to demean themselves to work a long haul flight. You are courtesy on two legs, I would not have let them get away with that!
