Moderator Note
 
This thread is now open and I am assured that CWS will be along soon with another update.

Moomba and I have spent time pruning out and editing posts that do not conform to the Flyertalk rules. Some of you will have had your posts edited because they quoted posts that needed to be deleted, please don't be alarmed by this.

Some of you have PM'd Moomba and myself directly to discuss this which is very much appreciated.

Again, if anyone has any questions or concerns about what I have written here you are very welcome to contact myself or Moomba to discuss further. We are happy to.

Let's get back to the report shall we? :) ^

Many thanks,

matthandy

Gosh, we're in a new place! OK, well it's meetings galore, so just a quick update and hopefully I'll find time to add more content later this afternoon......

Wednesday - Early start back down to London
...Arrived 9 minutes early, on the 07:27 HEX and in Paddington for 07:50, which isn't bad from rural Northumberland. to the bustle of the metropolis in 3 hours or so. Got another meeting in 9 minutes, I'll try and update a bit later today...

I was keeping an eye out to see if you appeared in the CR this morning. But I see now you had other destinations in mind. ;)

I like the sound of this gate selection trick. ;)

Although I'm now going to hold you personally responsible for why I'm always getting bus departures from A10. :mad:

After reading your post on the short-lived 'indyref' thread I realise now that in a past life I worked at (your local) and indeed many a nasty deer collision we did see. One of the best was a chap that remembered hitting something then coming 'round from his unconsious state a few moments later to discover that he no longer had a windscreen and that there was a heifer in the passenger seat...(not his wife :D)

Sadly not all were so lucky. Makes you think- despite all the flying you do and the recent spate of sad air accidents, those 40mins to the airport are still the most dangerous. Safe travels, CWS. :)

OK. Thank You. I take it that's the BA lounge. We'll be there early as we needto check luggage through to MCO. I will have the minimum of hand luggage though. :)
I'm enjoying reading your posts and appreciate the time you're taking to post the pic's too.

No you won't, unless you're doing NCL-LHR-MIA/JFK/xxx/MCO?

I had a similar day to CWS in Frankfurt on Monday so I have posted a report about it here

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/trip-...nkfurt-ba.html

but it seems to be making more moves than a tiddlywink. Can anyone advise?

Don't fret, BL. It was only a day, not a week ;)

Out of interest, why do you bring your own mug?

Dammit, Sir, C-W-S has standards :D

Another picture of my mug with which to scare children and maiden aunts. I said today was a bit boring.....

:D :D :D

Is it really your personal mug, kept on-site in a glass cabinet when not in use, along with your bulk stock of Ferrero Rocher?

For today, which was merely meetings in central London, would not the train from Newcastle to London have been quicker/more convenient? Admittedly no coffee in a black mug, but still... or is it still marginally quicker to fly to LHR and then get the HEX? Or was it cost? It can't be TP-related!!
