Just got back from shopping

I fly very rarely, but I've always wondered what happens if you board late and just can't fit your luggage on. Surely they'll find a place for it somewhere, and the only disadvantage is that it isn't near you?

By very rarely, I mean three times in the last ten years or so. One was long haul (where I had checked baggage) and the other two were for very short trips, so in all cases my only carry-on luggage was a smallish backpack which I could pretty much shove in anywhere - much smaller than the maximum size allowed.

 

Same here, i just can’t be bothered with the rushing and shoving for zero benefit. It’s the same when the plane lands and you get the usual scrum of people fighting to get their luggage first before shuffling very slowly off the plane. I stay sat down for a few more minutes then walk off without hassle and meet up with the scrum waiting for their suitcases.

I asked for it didn’t I.

 

No I haven't blocked you. Why would I?

It isn't about everyone going at a set off peak time it's about going at various times

 

On a similar theme, I always chuckle when there's a heavy snow report on the radio. "Commuters are advised to stagger their journeys". How do you do that?

And on another similar theme, I walked the Pennine Way alone a couple of years ago. While crossing a field near Gargrave, I got told off by a farmer for not walking in single file.

 

They check it as hold luggage for free. They normally ask for volunteers first and if none are forthcoming they check the last ones that don’t fit.

 

Or to paraphrase “I have difficulty dragging myself out of the bar.”

 

I have always adopted that philosophy but of course if everyone did the same no one would get on

 

I reckon a lot of this rushing to get on, get off, get luggage, get to coach etc, is due to people just wanting to get the travel misery over as quick as possible

 

Don’t know if this is standard but there was a Landlady on the Radio and said they had a customer test positive and she was now ringing around the other 39 people who were in Pub at same time.
If it’s reliant on the pub to make contact, I can see a local pub doing it but a larger place like Wetherspoons etc not so sure.

 

If they can they will fit under seat or take into the stewards area.

 

The problem we have in this country is stupid people. All countries have their fair share unfortunately we decided to elect them to run the country.

 

Poor old Bobby, what's he done to upset you.
Is it because he's ginger?

 

Ryanair do that because at one one point you buy it and got a case with the deal, so it made sense for anyone wanting to take a case into the plane.
Anyway, the none priority queue had a handful of people in it, the priority went around the block.

 

I nearly confronted someone on the bus home yesterday. She was sat straight behind me coughing every other minute. She was wearing a mask but shouldn't she be self isolating with a cough? There's some selfish people knocking about. There was also a chap brushed past me in the Co-op without a mask a few weeks ago and coughed on my neck as he did so. I was raging but Laura calmed me down. She said, "shut up Steve he'll hear you, go wait outside with George".

 

Well that depends. a cough can be a symptom of various long term conditions, if someone has a gastric issue that makes them cough occasionally, then they’ll be aware of it and not isolate because they’re coughing.

In other news I drove past a bus yesterday and none of the passengers or the driver were wearing a mask.

 

It figures and bus drivers are also going against the 11 people on single decker and 20 on double decker rule. Some drivers are letting dolly birds get on for free because they don't handle change as well.

 

Flattening the curves is good.

 

Who have the other 39 been in contact with?
