      Who are these people who make these ridiculous comments? Are they the ones who believe everything the Government tells them and would stay at home for the rest of their lives if told to. And, of course, if the Government said we must all travel on trains to combat the virus, they would start lambasting anyone not on a train.

By the time we drove from the south of France to the German border it was closed. We only got through because our bus driver was German and probably told them that he was trying to get the Americans out of there 😂. The flight from FRA to JFK had less than 100 people on it.

    Ah, that magical time before Boris was in ICU. Seems like months ago but it was just a few weeks.
    Glad you got home but...serious question...why was the train so warm? Was the air-conditioning broken? What was with the shirtless guy? Maybe he had the fever? Good thing you didn’t have to resort to that! I can’t believe you didn’t sit on the south-facing side of the train to Plymouth, so many great views!
    It’s so strange to see Penzance station without an HST there. For forty years they were the mainstay of long-distance travel on the Cornish and Devon coasts. The new trains lack the character of the old 125s. :(

    Yes in 2020 I had planned on flying to Switzerland (from ALX) and spending time there and in northern Italy, starting in early May 2020. Did not happen. Hotels refunded me, the prepaid train ticket from Geneva to Milan and Milan to Venice were refunded, as was the BA flights. Did it take a bit of time via e-mails and web sites? yes. did it take a while for everything to be processed? Yes. But hey, I am still employed and working from home, so.........winning I guess

    I have recently discovered your channel and I have enjoyed your travels around the world. As an entrepreneur myself I wondered how you are going to recalibrate your business in light of the travel shut down, which could last for sometime.

    Also currently living in Michigan, USA. Originally from Plymouth, Devon. Grew up next to the Royal Albert Bridge spanning the River Tamar - the border at this point between Devon and Cornwall. I also lived in Chesterfield for several years, though the station building has changed. Great to see Noel munching a pasty. Cornish tin miners brought the "delicacy" to Michigan's Upper Peninsula when they emigrated to work in tin and copper mines. The Finns also worked there and their recipe is different but the shape of their pasty is different (easier to freeze or package, but doesn't have the crust you saw on Noel's which they say also doubled as a handle and was discarded!) If you come to Michigan, try Mr. Fosies pasties in Cadillac - almost as good as my Gran used to make. Noel - note for next time sit on the right side heading east/north for better scenery, but gets full sun and can be way too hot, though those trains should have some sort of air conditioning. Nice video. I also liked your one in the USA on Spirit and Frontier. I tend to fly Delta but also fly Southwest. None of them are really great, other than Alaskan, but they are expensive - great craft beer selection on board and in their lounges though.

    BA are being a nightmare with refunds, only wanting to provide cancellations with a voucher for a future flight rather than a refund.

    • @footballislife1595
      @footballislife1595 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Was it for the flights only? If it was a package with British Airways and they cancelled it they have to give you the money back they don't have a choice because it's atol or alba protected most of the time if it's all done separately it's more tricky to get the money back that's why some airlines are offering vouchers because they want to keep customers money to keep the airline going not fair on the customers and frustrating
