My apologies Glen you are right this topic should have been posted elsewhere.

I did try to remove this post once l realised my mistake, but was unable to.

My apologies once again.

Perhaps Jimbo who is much more able than myself could sort it.

Dementia is not an excuse, but it does sometimes muddle the mind.

Same old, same old Charlie. Apparently the BBC report the news as it is and leave the listener/reader/watcher to decide if they're terrorists or not. Okay I'll go along with that but what about consistency? When it suits, BBC presenters are more than happy to spout their view which clearly bends one way or t'other and leaving us in no doubt whose side their on or what view they have. 

What is the same.

The BBC refuse to label Hamas as terrorists.  Any body who thinks that is not on the same planet as myself.

Unfortunately we will not be able to sample the delights of Dakar, the flight is 18 hours with a 2 hour stop over but we have to remain on the plane.

Interesting Jimbo, we would however not risk using TUI with all the cancellations that were happening this past year.  It’s vital that we are in the Falklands for the period 26th May onwards.  The RAF flight ( Air tanker services )would almost certainly guarantee that.
Thanks anyway.

After reading all the details regarding flight information l now find that currently no flights are stopping at the Ascension Islands due to repairs on the runway but maybe available sometime next year.  In the meantime flights stopover at Dakar Senegal.

My wife always says that l don’t read the finer details.

I have received today some very good news regarding a trip to the Falklands.  Along with three of my ex service buddies we have been offered flights to the Falklands in May 2022 at our cost, which will be forty years to when we were involved.  The flight is direct which is operated by the RAF from Brize Norton with a stopover at the Ascension Island for refuelling and crew change.

Two of my very best mates were killed in action along with so many others  so l am over the moon to be able to pay my respect.

I shall miss for the second time in a row the ceremony and march past at the Cenotaph this November as l will be in Spain.

We are looking to book probably the Rose Gardens for September 2022.

Sorry if this post is boring to most but I’m on a high!!!!

Welcome home Jimbo.
I couldn’t agree more with your comments.  Straight and to the point!

Having missed this year we are hopeful that we will go probably in September next year.

One consolation for us is that we are booked to go to Nerja Spain for two months from the 20th October.

Lesley,

The majority of  people that l know have taken no notice.

I have been hugging my family especially my grandchildren whenever l see them, no one is going to stop me.

This conversation could be sorted easily.
Vaccine passport, no vaccine no travel, simple!

There are exceptions which have been mentioned before.
