I like driving in that part of the country, thats why we considered
the Maserati. I wouldnt bother flying, by the time ive dragged the
luggage to the airport and sat through the check in time, i will be
halfway there! On the subject of drink, we recently flew bizz class
for first time, hey, the size of the glasses in the free self service
VIP(sic) * bar! HUGE.
*mostly chavs and chavettes at Tenerife. Bare feet up on baulkhead in
1D next to us. Mini dress with over the knee black stiletto boots and
*very* blonde ringlet style hair caught my eye though....... but
hardly "class".

You know I dont think there are many places that insist on ties
nowadays, I never wear one and we go to quite a few high end restros.
The City is different of course, no doubt you need one to fix the
