I've heard the service has gone sadly downhill, but even if they stop and put you on a bus for part of the journey, at least you can bring along emergency rations and some travel knitting.<BR/><BR/>I've heard that there is a large airport in the western USA that has flights from one end of the airport to the other (which is in the next town), and that it's faster to walk.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-48470935878786282222007-04-07T13:45:00.000+01:002007-04-07T13:45:00.000+01:00The Princess - is my calculation correct that ther...The Princess - is my calculation correct that there are 220 rows in total?
