Wonder what they all thought of you???

"Would you just look at that grey-haired, overweight old git, trying desperately to look trendy in his grandad shirt and linen trousers and failing miserable", springs to mind:(.

Mrs H would have fared much better of course .

Sounds like a similar crowd to those spotted passing Nefis Pide the other Friday at just before 1pm - 2 shirtless men, 2 women wearing bikini tops & skirts that flashed their knickers as they walked, all swigging efes from the can & conversing in F-plan language. A lovely sight for anyone attending Friday prayers at the mosque. Make you proud to be British!

  sounds similar to a group who were on our plane a few years ago, even made me cringe,and they were (though I hate to say it)scousers, I even followed them out to the rep to find out where and what hotel they were going to,I stood next to the dad and son when they were told they were gong to Marmaris, I gave Kenny the thumbs up,what a relief.but god help the people in that hotel,
oh and though not reflective in any way, they were evertonians,:P

That was brilliant - wish I had your wit and observation skills H

H - that's almost as bad as saying all people with depression are mad. Some of the behaviour you describe can be seen in people who have paid employment and some of these come from Scotland and Wales as well as England. Best not to label all people on benefits as wasters - some are in genuine  need and are entitled to holiday!

Well said

Good point Bee but I have to agree that it's an eye opener watching some of the people who get on the flights from Manchester. Unemployed or not you just know which ones are turning left.

Then you see them on your return leg - usually with a big dodgy watch on, new tattoo, leather cowboy hat and looking like they have stayed awake for two weeks drinking none stop. The only good thing is that they sleep all the way home.

God that sounds so snobbish from a lad brought up in one of the roughest areas of Leeds.  How times change ;-)

I am sure Mr H was trying to be funny,and he was.
But can you have holiday from NOT working?
