'They' covers all eventualities and avoids offence where one might refer to one gender as the other, madam. =))

Well there will be a ferry ride and you can look at that as a free cruise :-bd
Ex-A presents the ship voyage to Amorgos as a free cruise. It almost a convincing argument.

Nothing is free my friend. 'Inclusive'. It is like the 'free' booze at the camps here. It is not free. If you work it out you are probably paying 100 quid for a bottle of beer. That is why we don't go on the 'inclusive' game drives. We take that 8 hrs a day to drink 100 quid bottles of beer.

Yet another busy day in the Funchal hold. Lots of flights cancelled, and those who have attempted it have opted for Porto Santo. Poor old Funchal seems to be having more than its share of bad weather recently.

TAF LPMA 250500Z 2506/2606 01017KT 9999 SCT015 TEMPO 2506/2606 01020G35KT Not good for a runway that runs 05/23.
