@KrysiaJ Yeah I flew on one to Bahrain and luckily the have me the exit row. But they really are tiny leg room. And that was only an hour so fine but wouldnโt want to do anymore than 2.5 hours really on one of those. Exit row was great tho
English
Did not really enjoy a 6 hour flight on Fly Dubai. Those planes are too small for longer journeys and the product isnโt great tbh. I wouldnโt mind if it was a budget airline but the prices arenโt exactly cheap!
English
@KrysiaJ Yeah I donโt think so. Have to go to Zagreb. Or you can combine with a UK trip and fly direct from there
English
@Nicoledso Massively on my list now after seeing Montenegro. Itโs just a bit faffy to get to from here I think? I seem to recall no direct flights? Or have I made that up?
English
@KrysiaJ Itโs amazing. I only went for a few days for work but finished early everyday and itโs just stunning
English
@UtahFlatRanger So? Iโve only visited the US once (for work) the reason isnโt because I donโt think the US has some beautiful places but because I want to experience a completely different culture, language etc. just doesnโt appeal to me as much as Europe, Asia, africa
English
My state is bigger than your Country.

The average American doesn't even have a passport. Lol

@MissNicoletta @honigmaydl I mean they do tho. episode of friends springs to minds when they had a lasagne made with โnoodlesโ
English
@honigmaydl No one calls pasta "noodles" in America, what the fuck are they talking about?
English
Are British people unaware that there are noodles from non-Italian noodle-making traditions out there? (Is there such a thing as a British noodle?)
shan ๐ฝ@tttribalism
At least we don't call all pasta NOODLES lmaooo. Literally saw an American actor consider Kraft Mac and Cheese and Pot Noodle similar because they are "both noodle based* ahaha

@KlezmerRouge @deeharvey @Domjb03 Yep I was speaking a while back to a guy who owns a very famous uk beach club in Ibiza. Used to be all staffed with Brits. Canโt now and these werenโt rich kids
English
@deeharvey @Domjb03 I'm in Switzerland right now and there's heaps of Brits who moved here before Brexit to get pub jobs and/or study who are mostly not rich or posh, and heaps of Irish doing the same. Loads of them never reached fluent German and don't need to. Brits are simply solipsistic.

@Tsartoshi @Johnie36149708 Yes Ibiza. Best place on the planet. Many of my best memories there
English
@Nicoledso @Johnie36149708 Ibiza ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
At least visit the real Europe.
English
Itโs F! Why are more people not choosing F!! Southern Spain. Ibiza, Sicily, Greek islands, southern Turkey,

You just won a 2-week, all-expenses-paid vacation. But thereโs a catch: you have to stay within one region the whole time. What are you picking?
English
@Nicoledso Because we have more than 2 vacation weeks a year and those regions are relatively affordably visitable.
English
@Tsartoshi @Johnie36149708 Iโve been to all of them. Lived in Barcelona too. No I prefer the islands
English
@Johnie36149708 @Nicoledso Really with Rome, Istanbul or barca?
English
@TrevorSkelly Youโve clearly not been going to the right places!

@proptechpioneer I canโt help but think this is a good thing for the country. Although I appreciate it will cause short term pain.
1) rents and sales prices eventually come down
2) will encourage more people to invest in stocks and shares which is much better for the economy.

Good article covering many of the issues plaguing the London (and broader English) property market.
The reality is most small landlords can no longer make the numbers work - and with capital values likely to decline things will get considerably worse.

@tc1415 F! Itโs F! Ibiza, the Algarve, southern Spain, Sicily, Greek islands and southern Turkey.

E. Don't understand why there could be any other choice?!

@BritToSwiss @LuckyTony72 Yes this always makes me laugh when people say is it too hot for spicy or cooked food. Hello India and thailand would like a word

Got a table booked for a meal this afternoon - curry! Is it too hot for curry?

Since we hating on Europeans I just wanna add that I absolutely loathe the way British people say โpastaโ

@JamesHarrisNow @peacockswill Ooh is croggy one too? As in give me a croggy on your bike?
English
@Nicoledso @peacockswill We say mardy (and croggy) in Notts

Got to love Americans. If you travel 30 minutes any direction in the UK they have a different word for bread roll, but sure, we don't understand dialects
Kami Mizuumi@MizuumiKami
@ActuallyCrab Ooh that's another one, y'all (specifically brits) just cannot comprehend the concept of differing dialects and slang lmfao

@Iris_readagain @adbennoEFC Sheโs probably still active and healthy at 80 exactly because she kept working. Keeps her mind busy, keeps her social. Too many people see retirement age and then just do nothing. As with any muscle heart, brain etc of you donโt use it you lose it.
English
@Nicoledso @adbennoEFC Some pensioners are not so fortunate as to be active and healthy in their 70s. Some women have been denied their pension until they are 68. There are lots of individual circumstances. Your mother is very fortunate, And if she is 80, you must be 50 and should know better than this
English
Itโs almost as if constantly raising the retirement age results in less jobs coming into the market to be passed down to the next generation.

@Iris_readagain @adbennoEFC Iโm 47. More people should continue working. My mum wishes she hadnt tetired from paid work when she was 65 (she chose to work longer to have money for retirement) but as sheโs still working voluntarily she wishes she had continued paid work until 70. Keeps her mind busy
