My lad, after putting the shits up me by travelling to the US on his own, is going one better in August. Twelve days in Morocco.

I have to say, I really like Morocco. Admittedly in a nice hotel. But even walking around, I've never felt unsafe. Women need to take care with how they dress. It's possibly the most "open" and liberal of the Arab countries. Don't forget how the hippies, artists, and rock stars flocked there in the 60's.
I hate to say this, Rog, but that was 60, yes 60, years ago  ;D

Reports coming through that they have found debris on the seabed near the Titanic wreck site.

Yes doesn’t look good. About time they just let the wreck and souls rest now I’d say.

Probably been dead for some time, certainly not a nice way to end your days especially after paying £196,500 for the trip of a lifetime.

I'm guessing it would have been very quick with the water pressure down there.

Would imagine that at that pressure there would be little or nothing to recover. RIP.

You take your chance as they say…. But they all had family……and at least they went doing something they loved.

Hopefully it was instantaneous. So quick they didn't even realise what was happening.  :-\
