Luxembourg association asked to send my replacement bank card to Spain as can't get back to the UK. They agreed to send it to Spain. Guess where they sent it...

£7 ,296 spent on two 1st class tickets Swiss Air JNB-ATH last November. Cancelled February. Refund £135.48 1.85%. They say we are only entitled to the airport tax. I have told them they have 7 days to come up with a better answer before we go public.

I wish someone was still with us, he would have known someone to help.

He was so skilled at that. I thought first class fares are fully refundable.

They have been taking months to answer my e-mails. My threat to go public has resulted in an instant response. We can appeal. Wow bloody wee.

Occasionally, the display of my laptop 'flips'.
A few minutes ago it inverted, and I have had one heck of a struggle to select the correct page and navigate to the correct icon to restore sanity.

Cursor movements are reversed and inverted.

Mirrors only reverse right to left and not upside-down.

Try it if you don't believe me (otherwise when you looked in a mirror your head would be where your feet are!).
