I think in general the holiday experience can have some improvements. I certainly found that in Tenerife recently. Table service vastly improved, bad manners in buffet restaurants seems to be a thing of the past. Kids under control in restaurants. Decent booking systems. Mind until I see how the Russians react when I visit Turkey next. Not sure they know what etiquette and manners are. Was in Turkey, Dalaman, in October and they were fairly relaxed. Russians were okay and didn’t bother a toss about masks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you see having a small state as being dangerous and destructive? What’s your definition of small? Smaller than now, two years ago, five years ago, 13 years ago? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not looking that good, not unlike winter weather you would see in Scotland. Apart from the dust in the air that will turn to mud once the rain starts. https://www.guidetocanaryislands.com/heavy-rain-strong-winds-will-follow-calima-canary-islands/ Correct. Dust today although warm and good for sunbathing but rain scheduled for tomorrow. Not good! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s your definition of small? Smaller than now, two years ago, five years ago, 13 years ago? I'd like a state that's smaller than it's been in a couple of years in some Covid related respects. Otherwise, I'd want one bigger than it's been in about forty. Higher taxes for many, better public services and less of the wild inequality we've grown to accept and in some cases, embrace. That would be good too. Edited January 16, 2022 by Monkey Tennis 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not as if that post has suddenly radicalised the posters on this thread has it? Of course it's not radicalised anyone - don't be daft. I'm not claiming that his posts pose any genuine danger at all. They do come from a dangerous place though, because the views therein, are shared by some people who do wield genuine influence. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you telling me that this really is the thread for true blue Thatcherites, and people seeing it otherwise aren't welcome? I'll admit that I did get that sense of this place at times, but it's not usually expressed quite so explicitly. Thanks for clearing that up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now everyone that is laughing at you is a true blue thatcherite. My word This is the thread to discuss Covid. There’s no place for you trying to turn it into your idea of a socialist utopia. As I said if that’s what you want to discuss there’s other threads for you to do that on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djchapsticks Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 I think Monkey Tennis is providing a stellar service in this thread. I was having trouble sleeping 2 or 3 nights back. Opened up this thread on my phone, read a few of MT's posts and I dozed off so quickly my phone smacked me in the melt. Slept like a baby albeit with the bridge of my nose a wee bit sore. Cheers MT for being so spectacularly boring. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
