00:01I have seen it and it hasn't put me off. Only two and a half weeks ago I came
00:06back from a long haul flight no problem whatsoever. We flew from Manchester no
00:11problem whatsoever. They've messed us around and messed us around telling us
00:15that they haven't got the right documents but not telling us what the
00:19wrong documents were. When we found out we got finally got through after about
00:23three weeks they turned around and said that it wasn't a full passport so we've
00:29had to do that and we've had to fast track it. Thankfully it hasn't cost us any
00:33more money but they've assured us we'll have it in two weeks. Well we're going
00:37away locally we're not going abroad I might go to Ireland later on but
00:42considering what's been going over the last few years I think we want to stay
00:46closer to the UK you know in the UK so we'll be travelling up to the Peak
00:50District we'll be going down to Herefordshire I think and we'll be having
00:55a quiet sort of local holidays basically. Has the disruption at the
01:04airports put you off a little bit going abroad? You know I don't think it's much
01:07disruption I think it's just the just going on the aeroplane and sitting on
01:14for hours and not quite sure the situation when you get there I think that
01:18sort of sort of made me resist going abroad but I've been away many times to
01:24many places so I'm not really think I'm missing really to believe I'm missing
01:28anything at the moment.
