Title: Going to Greece?
Post by: Nickbat on 30 July 2010, 10:32:33

I'm going for short break, via Greece, in about two weeks' time.

Thousands of Britons heading to Greece  for their summer holiday last night risked becoming caught up in the chaos of a nationwide strike by protesting truck drivers that is threatening fuel, food and medical shortages across the country.

In a week when Britons traditionally begin their summer break, flying into airports across Greece, air traffic controllers compounded the chaos by staging a stringent work-to-rule protest that saw dozens of flights either cancelled or delayed.

 :o :o

I took out travel insurance last night... :y

For holidays nothing wrong with a trip down the M5 and A30 to Cornwall

All very well and good talking about different holiday places, but when you're visiting relations it's not that relevant. ;) ;D

Actually, Greece is not my ultimate destination, I'll be just passing through (hopefully!).  :y

Reminds me of a little ditty;

'There's not a man on my devine divan there hasn't been one for weeks.  There's not a man on my devine divan - he's orf to fight the Greeks.
