Oh, that is BAD news. Sorry to hear that. At least mine was only a mini-stroke!

Appreciated!! I'm sure there are a lot of people on FT who are in a worse place [see upthread a couple of posts].

4200GBP for travel insurance are quite heavy.

We are old (80/76) and with medical issues. That’s the risk factor, sadly! Believe me, we had quotes double or more … and many providers didn’t want to know! One quote was for that sum for ONE trip!

The decision, simple … pay the money or stay at home for the rest of our lives!

I'm glad that my health insurance is generally valid worldwide.

Great to see the TR. glad that the cancer convenience hasn’t impeded the delicious cigarettes. I would love to consume them if given a limited diagnosis.
great job getting the travel insurance.

You fellas need to fly United long haul and see the slop they serve there. BA food looks positively Michelin star compared to poor ole Uniteds catering...

This. Aa / dl global also isn’t that great. The BA meal in CE looks delightful especially the curry.
