I
have always liked the Jehovah's Witnesses. But I think I'll have to
drop their HQ a line to complain. They very naughtily knock on the door
in pairs, today, one a middle-aged gentleman who dressed like a Job
Centre civil servant from the 1970's, the other, an extremely attractive
girl in her late twenties/early thirties whom you'd want to ask if
she'd care to help you book a cruise with the sole intention of not
going out on deck too often with her (wink, wink, nudge, nudge, say no

Watching people going around their travel ‘business’ in airports and on board the aircraft is hilarious. There are those who are plainly not very good at it, continually checking all manner of minutiae with the other members of the party. “Do we go to the gate?”, “Have we time for a beer?”, “I MUST get a pizza”. There are those who have plainly not done it much before and like their fellow travellers to be made fully aware of the exact opposite, as they point and gesture to the monitor shouting out their destination and boarding gate at every passing opportunity to one and all around them. There are those who think they are something special – despite the fact they are travelling via bu...
