    I also have a nice little black leather passport holder which is embossed "With the compliments of the City of Helsinki". It was given to me by my new found Finnish mate in 1979 when I visited him while on InterRail. Without fail I have used it on every single international journey since, bar one. I was worried I might have lost it when I left it on the boarding gate desk at Prague but the BA stewardess went back and retrieved it for me. I was ridiculously happy about that.The "bar one" was when I went to Berlin in April testing Schengen and using only my Czech resident pass. It caused a hassle. Never again.

  • The 5 that I intended to write, have all recently appointed new CEO's who have continually lied to me and told me they only want customers under 40.
    The entire history of the products has been deleted too.
    Apparently it's the way forward in business.
  • Tesco premium diesel.

    Even used it when I had a petrol car - it's that good.
