They are based at Manchester and Leeds/Bradford. You are allowed the weight of a mouse as luggage and then hammer you for excess baggage. Once on board they batter you non-stop to buy stuff. £5 for a vodka... hows an alki supposed to get drunk on that flight?
OMG everything's real

How merciful that they have stayed up north!! I think we have all we can handle in the way of torturous air travel down here!

I think gravity is a given. We are all firmly stuck to the flat world, there is no doubt about that.
Actually, there is one worse form of transport than cheap airlines and that's an even cheaper bus trip London-Prague. 36 hours!!! Oh boy, did we ever regret that money saving decision!

We loaded up on prescription narcotics. I had carefully doled them out so we would have some for the way there, some for the way back. He scoffed all of his on the way out.
I wouldn't share mine on the way back, plus he was in hectic alcohol withdrawals!!! I had a great time - just me, my friend opium and my music. (Germany is really big on a bus!)

Just trying to get this all straight in my head now......
I will board a bus for a 36 hour drive around the edge of the sauser to arrive in england via a wormhole that doesn't involve gravity, in about 6 hours from now??????
And the only thing they serve on the bus is listeren...
I think I'll go back to bed!

I went from the UK to rimini in Italy on a bus once. That was a hoot.
The toilet broke down somewhere near Watford, a bloke drank all his duty free by the time we reached the French countryside and had to be rushed to hospital. We made detour after detour due to the mentalists on the bus. We eventually reached Rimini approx 18 hours late.
Top holiday....
absolutely top
