We have manufacturing partners in Gdansk and Budapest so been to both loads of times, both lovely cities. Krakow is a good shout, think you can fly from Bournemouth, but the wife refuses to visit Auschwitz.
-
We did Florence from Venice and also Verona, that's a nice city.
-
I think it could be very interesting Belfast.
-
We often like to add an extra night to any city break so we can do a day trip somewhere by train. Have been really impressed by the Italian train system.

What did you have to do to get your knighthood?

Good shout, the wife wants to do that, Xmas market.

We're off to Seville next month, looking forward to it. We did Berlin last year and that was good.

Too right, with a mostly self funded pension and not too long until retirement. -

I have no idea what Burger Kings policy is, perhaps they do pay the same. Generally though young people start in low level roles requiring lots of training to give them experience. Lower pay is quite normal, most of us have gone through this. -

Thankfully the FTSE is more of a measure of multinational businesses and the global economy rather than the UK, even though Rachel tried claiming credit for it. -
I’ve never walked out of a cinema during a film but I came close with Deadpool 2. If I’d seen Deadpool 1 I wouldn’t have gone.

One of those films which gains a certain notoriety and you feel compelled to watch it.

Remember, these are 18-20 year olds only, but it would lead to increased pay across the board. An added financial burden especially on small businesses who have already seen massive cost increases. Sadly, the result would lead to less 18-20 year olds being employed. I'm not sure it is necessary to have 18-20 year olds on the same minimum wage as adults. I'm all for the minimum wage by the way. -
When I was at school there was a massive buzz about the film Caligula, a couple of mates managed to get in to see it. Always wanted to see it and finally did when it was recently released on Amazon Prime, my God is was bloody dreadful.

Another sort of u-turn incoming, the goverment planning on delaying the increase in minimum wage for 18-20 year olds to match 21+. -

No, that’s not how it works Duck, if anyone mentions a new funding model of healthcare to replace the NHS, we have to look to the US 🤔 -
I’d go along with Fight Club, didn’t enjoy it at all.

2001: A Space Odyssey On the flip side, a film that was not well received but I love, Cloud Atlas.

Agreed, surprised at Whelks comment, Shawshank is my favourite film of all time, I watch it every time I’m on a long flight.

Saw something on GMB the other day where a load of women who had botched plastic surgery were expecting the NHS to put it right. -
