ENGLAND JOURNAL VIII

Yesterday left Ely on the 12:25 to King's Cross. As we could not be at our Heathrow lounge until 3:45 we stoppe3de for a lite bite at Prezzo at the Station. Bit of a rip off as they brought Janet the wrong item at 2sx the cost of what she had ordered.

Let station and I stupidly decided to take a cab to Paddington whereas we should have simply taken the district line. As it was we were in traffic and arrived at Paddington later than we had hoped. On top of this cab ripped us off. Waiting to leave the station and our car was sitting behind another in the cue and our driver started his meter running up a fare of two pounds eighty before we moved an inch. Needless to say I did not tip him at the end.

Airport check in and security fine. Got to our lounge which was very full but managed to finds seats and a table. Had a drink and snack. Boarded with not hassle. Flight was troubled by turbulence for about a third of the time in the air. Service was disrupted and never resumed  to my satisfaction. Never git my brandy or coffee. Main meal was very good but all else sucked as only BA can manage at times. They provide such a hit or miss service. I frankly expect better in WT. Plane was very full indeed.

A we were a late flight arriving at Logan entry was fairly easy - no long queues. Got to our car and driver easily and arrived home tired. Our cat was at the door to greet us. He seemed pleased to see us.

And so ends the England Journal.

NOW BACK TO THE STATES AND THE TRUMP FREEK SHOW!
