Karen Blixen's Out of Africa is filled with episodes where she tries to look at things from a local point of view, rather than a European one. And her idea of the local point of view actually makes a lot of sense one you think about it!
Long story short: I agree with your last sentence, but think there should be a question mark at the end of it - it would be good to know what the reasons was!
Yes, many times - I’m married to a South African, found out first hand the joys of the ways things (don’t) work when told we should have turned up 3 weeks before our wedding date for an interview - ended up doing the official wedding in the UK later on 😄
I’ve never read Out of Africa, but I will give it a read, thanks!
I was going to put a question mark - but not sure there is an answer! I suspect it is something to do with the fact that while Comair is BA branded, it is a completely different entity, and it might as well be a separate airline.
