That's good to hear.

No, in that situation you have very little control. Pity he felt the need to push that fact as hard as he could, but what can you do? You both got through, that's the main thing.

Maybe The Outer Hebrides aren't looking so bad for a holiday after all.

Ah the sweet outer Hebrides! I love all of the Scottish islands. If only it didn't cost more to holiday in Scotland's than it does overseas!!

I would love to see the Scottish Islands. As for the cost, sounds like the same thing here. I can holiday in Bali (which is a 6 hour flight away, as well as being in Indonesia) cheaper than a local holiday here in my own state of Victoria. In fact, I could probably get to Thailand cheaper.

Yeah, we are the same. Sometime we cost a holiday here and then compare it with overseas and can get to and stay in Europe much more cheaply than staying in Britain. Shocking stuff!
