No argument from me but you can certainly stick many areas around London too! Heathrow is an abysmal airport. Not much I can do about where I was born. Still have some relatives there but by next year I expect to be going much less.

Expedia now do not respond to emails other than the automated response. Looking around Facebook and the web it appears Expedia leave a lot of dissatisfied customers behind. I would say avoid them.

Those Hoppa buses are awful. I recall trying to use them to get around Heathrow a few times. Overpriced, busy, slow, uncomfortable. Thank heaven Manchester now offers me plenty of flights.

Me too.... once or twice I have had a slightly rough vehicle, shocks due replacement for example, but for many many years he has been reliable. Toom charges 1200 pick-up, 1000 drop-off.

More exactly there are only a few places where you can get it. More about that than the price I think. They usually have large LPG signs. I know there is one near me, just South of the #36/Sukhumvit junction on the South bound side. Plus another just after 36 on the motorway heading towards the airport. Always regarded them as a pain for a taxi as there is no space in the boot for the suitcase.

Had a good downpour last night out in the sticks (North of town). I agree it has been relatively dry so far this September. Perhaps the rainy season still has time to get going! I doubt there will be any improvement with the usual areas in town that go under water, Soi Buakhao, 3rd/Klang junction. It is a struggle to even keep the drains clear. Although I wonder if some large quantity of flood water will be held by the new tunnel rather than rushing down Klang. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to trundle out my old line of renaming Pattaya Klang to Pattaya Klong. Later Edit:-Shit, spoke too soon, it has been raining all day!

They get Morris dancers prancing around down south, fairies with bells on! I can afford the tickets ex Manchester, but certainly do not have to worry about paying extra for fast Track, it is included.

Yes, LPG gives it away. They have to get everyone out of the vehicle while they fill up.. Personally I would rather be in a regular petrol or diesel vehicle... heard of too many incidents of LPG vehicles catching fire.

Great photos and report FBWY. I was talking with someone yesterday who thought the tunnel was scheduled to open next March. That seems optimistic and really only just over 2 years from when this thread started. Can't recall when work actually started but I do recall nothing much seemed to be happening for quite a long time.... it was getting equipment there and erecting barriers, and goofing around trying to make up their minds wrt traffic directions around the area. I drive through it most Sundays in both directions and it seemed particularly slow progress yesterday. Vehicles coming in and out of the construction area, pavement construction along Sukhumvit, and about 15 coaches of Chinese U-turning and then queueing to get into Rubber World. Even when I used North Rd the other day I wondered why the Police have built a little tented area with a desk and chairs near the Gems Gallery which seems to serve no other purpose than bottle necking the traffic. Oh well, when it does get finished they only have to move the equipment 2km up the road to the Tai junction and start digging there.

Here is a list..... Can't find the one in Naklua I used many years ago. Used to lie you down, stick needles into you and then attach connectors from some electrical gadget. Then left you for an hour while you twitched at random and became decidedly uncomfortable. Probably for the best as it didn't alleviate my issue. After 5 treatments without benefit I quit and was told 'oh you need at least 10'.... I was being lead on.

I might just be on it.... although getting to the airport at 8am-ish .... maybe not.

Its a Mad Mad Mad Mad World.

I don't believe ANY pool changes the water, perhaps you are thinking of a jacuzzi or bath! It is recirculated through filters and usually chlorine or salt added with chlorine created. Generally the appearance of the pool is a good indicator.

Seriously? I would be happier to get 50+. How our expectations have changed!
