Cape Town 11th-15th June

I was unaware when i was rostered this trip that British Airways were the official sponsor of the Lions rugy tour in South Africa, although i was working in First class where the clientele are a little more refined i did go to help down the back and it was hell, everyone was standing in the aisles, the crew had already ran out of beers and wine and we were only 3 hours into an 11 hour flight, the aircraft cabins were overheating due to a fault, oh my goodness, this had to go down as one of my worst flights ever in my 21 year history.




Three nights in Cape Town in a 5* hotel all expenses paid sounds very nice indeed, well try going in June/July , middle of winter, freezing cold, non stop rain,deserted pool area and hotel with a miserable feel about it is enough to put anyone off, i am lucky to have experienced this beautiful place in the summer so i know the difference.




After all the headache and job losses it was nice to see Woolworths still exists in South Africa,it never traded under the same brand as the old Woolies in the Uk, was more like an M&S and still similar
