Hi Truckyboy (and whoever), thanks for the interesting info about driving. Things are beginning to relax in the UK and elsewhere now. We'd have less trouble if we had bought in Spain! Never mind, the Eurocrats will soon be opening things up as if there was nothing to worry about, and for most people...

Wow, driving eh? Don't think I'd be up for that myself: constant comfort breaks, distracting sights en route, weather anxiety... oh, and a RHD car! Six days off the time to spend in BG...no wonder people fly. Yours is now the safest way to go as regards social distancing, but I'd take lots of hand s...

BTW not sure how you have gleaned that "only one Brit has died" in BG so far. If you have a breakdown of covid deaths by nationality I would be interested to check it out. Meanwhile, here's a place where the number of deaths can be seen of everyone in all countries (as reported by them). H...

Thanks Banjo, a very pertinent and helpful response. We fly to CWL on the 28th so I will know for sure one way or the other. I will update here accordingly.
Bon Voyage!

Well, if you read the topic header it is "Cabin Baggage Restrictions". Replies were requested about that topic. That is how these things are supposed to work, nali?

Funny how people keep hijacking a thread instead of starting a new one. One of the reasons I have almost stopped using this forum.

Thanks for that encouraging reply banjo. You have to wonder why they think weight is more relevant than size, given the huge variation in passengers' weights.
