Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
The rock was free.
Slightly off topic - in the 80's I worked at Khartoum airport and outside our hangar was (is?) a large black rock on which the locals would crack open and cook eggs - at 6a.m!
Didn't fancy it myself, although the participants recommended it and I figured 2000 flies couldn't be wrong....
Not true, marab. I'm off to Barcelona in September with BA. £115 return business class. I have their Executive club card and utilise Avios to get reductions. (Was Air Miles). Flew to Phoenix in April on a BA refurbished Boeing 777 and their new Business class layout is superb. Better than many other airlines' First class.
You also get early seat choice with the loyalty card. I think they've upped their game considerably.
I've been flying with them -and other airlines - since 1965.
Just been informed that my BA flight to BCN in September will now be operated by Iberia.
Had a phone call earlier from a lady saying she was from EUA, wanting to know if I had details of the forthcoming AGM and had I read the resolutions. If so, how did I intend to vote.
I replied 'Yes - by proxy via my broker/nominee account'. Anyone else had this? I don't remember being lobbied before....
Pete. I have a Mazda CX-30 mhev auto. Wife found it easier to get in/out compared to the XE and P/ex price on the 2017 Jag increased from £19K to £27k last year made it an easier decision! Now appreciating the 40mpg compared to 27mpg.
Previous - two XKs and XK8.
