Thanks Natalie, the bit about cabin crew is spot on!

When I am back I will happily do the presentation on Fracking - don't know when as my trip schedules keep shifting so probably October.

See you all then.

Charles

Quoting Natalie Hooper <[email protected]>:

I would also be interested in a presentation from Charles about fracking so
I second Peter's suggestion.

As for travelling, I am currently working on a contract for British Airways
at their head office, next to Heathrow airport, so I get to see a lot of
cabin crew and you can spot the new recruits, they are the only ones
excited about travelling... ;-)

As one who was a road warrior for years and shot all over the UK at a
moments notice for years, I can agree how unglamorous it can get. I have
seen lots of highway,(much of it at night) and lots of the interiors of
customers establishments, and seldom got to enjoy the countryside. At least
Charles lets someone else do the driving. One good point is that I don't
need a SatNav to get me from here to there, I know most of the routes!


Terry's post reminded me of the words of a campsite owner by a (very
rainy)
Loch Tay :
(you have to read this in the appropriate accent)..
"There's no such thing as bad weather, just inappropriate clothing"

That is the  common response  to people who say that they don't cycle in
inclement weather.  Coming from Vancouver, I know what real rain is. Dorset
rain is just a moistness in the air.

On another tack, I would be very interested to hear Charles gives a
presentation about fracking. Perhaps if you want a rehearsal before a
public talk you should give it to the LUG Charles?
