Carol has replied to Anne saying she is shocked that Anne would cancel her flight after promising it. Anne has told her that she gave her no option .
Both Barbara and I have messaged Carol saying that she has behaved badly and should apologise to Anne.

Dick (Alan Partridge) will burst into the villa and go "AAH HAAAAAA"

Clutterbugsmum · 22/06/2019 15:51

Have a good holiday.

Hopefully Eddie can drop a few hints at the golf club about them not being on the 'free holiday' and why.

Why Jose you are really spoiling us

MsMcMurphy · 22/06/2019 16:58

This thread was epic! So nice too that it had such a wonderful conclusion. Hoping for one last update next week after the holiday to hear what the three ladies and Jose got up to!

Ginburee · 22/06/2019 17:33

I hope Jose turns up looking buff and wearing nothing but an apron and a smile. Have a fantastic time.

Have a bloody wonderful time, OP! Please let us know all about it when you get back, even if it's completely drama-freeSmile

MsMarvellous · 22/06/2019 18:04

Hope you have an awesome holiday Wine

SeraphinaDombegh · 22/06/2019 20:04

Hope you have a brilliant, totally drama free holiday. Smile

LLOE7 · 22/06/2019 20:17

Hope the three of you have a lovely holiday!

EdtheBear · 22/06/2019 21:16

I agree with Eddie, Dick is trying to save face by not admitting free holidays off.

I can't decide if they'll have booked a cheap package deal or lie low for a week. Last thing he's going to admit is the 'free' holiday got cancelled.

Mxyzptlk · 22/06/2019 22:21

Thanks for the update.
I hope you have a brilliant time in Spain! And that Carol & Dick enjoy their week in Skegness. Grin

Walkamileinmyshoesbeforeujudge · 22/06/2019 22:46

Bon Voyage!!

MyGastIsFlabbered · 22/06/2019 22:48

Have a wonderful time!

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 23/06/2019 04:32

Oh I do hope you have a great and wonderfully relaxing holiday!
Maybe Dick will take himself off to Spain as well, with or without Carol, who knows! But so long as he doesn't come anywhere near you three, you'll be fine!
ThanksWine

Have a wonderful time with your friends ☀️🍾🥂🥘🏖

And if Carol and Dick do go on vacation, you will know since Dick is supposedly booked on your flight.

AdoreTheBeach · 23/06/2019 08:29

Enjoy your trip. When you’re back, please let us know if all went well and no Dick

3luckystars · 23/06/2019 09:48

I'm staying here for the rest of the week.

It's not over yet.

buttertoasty · 23/06/2019 10:07

Have a fab time

AintNobodyHereButUsChickens · 23/06/2019 10:18

Sounds like a great cast! I love Meryl Streep and Felicity Kendal Grin

StCharlotte · 23/06/2019 10:59

I'm shortly leaving for the airport (leaving sharp scissors at home obvs). If I see three very relieved looking ladies of a certain age drinking buckets of gin, I shall go and shake their hands and discuss Oscar frocks.

Bon voyage A, B and F!

OoohRhubarbLetsGo · 23/06/2019 11:14

Have been lurking on this thread, just caught up and I’m loving the cast suggestions! My worry would be that there’s usually a bit of a sympathy/pity angle with Partridge, whereas Dick is clearly totally unlike able- I think John Challis can play that role convincingly. Coogan-as-Partridge is surely the comedy turn as Dick’s golf buddy?

Nanasueathome · 23/06/2019 11:18

I really want an update from the OP to find out if Dick and Carol were on the flight

OoohRhubarbLetsGo · 23/06/2019 11:18

Ruth Jones /Nessa is an inspired suggestion from earlier in the thread- perhaps as the golf club barmaid who calls out Dick on his CFery?

Anne is definitely Helen Mirren.

FaithInfinity · 23/06/2019 12:21

Well done to you and Carol for standing your ground. I hope you have a lovely holiday without a Carol or Dick in sight!
