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.

Have a lovely holiday! Hope there are no more dramas. Don't let it affect your holiday Thanks

Please let there be room for Richard Briers as Martin Bryce in the cast. I'm sure he would be outraged on Anne's behalf. He doesn't like golf club typesGrin

There was whole thread about the type of man who wears red trousers. I can't find it. But Dick fits the bill perfectly. He sounds like a prick and a tosser! 😁 😁

PavlovaFaith · 23/06/2019 13:24

Happy Holidays OP! This has been more deserved than most Grin

Talking of red trousers -

Isatis · 23/06/2019 15:50

The trouble with this thread is that I actually know a Carol and Dick who are married - though these days he mostly calls himself Richard. I keep picturing them when I read the names.

Whoever said John Challis can obviously read my mind. OP hope Jose was a hit and your having a hoot

VelociraptorRex · 23/06/2019 17:53

De-lurking to say have an utterly amazing holiday @Oldbutstillgotit, I have been Shock at both of these treads, and I can't wait to hear what a lovely time you have and how you have seen carol and her dick moping around the area looking miserable Grin

DoctorDread · 23/06/2019 20:59

@Oldbutstillgotit I wanted to cast Celia Imrie too and was pondering that actress for this thread on the school run just this Friday !!!

LaundryIsADisease · 24/06/2019 15:06

Looking forward to a holiday update!

Gramgram · 24/06/2019 16:09

I have read these threads with my hands over my face through my fingers as Dick sounds like my BIL. Please tell me you don't live in Kent OP.

KatherineJaneway · 24/06/2019 16:30

Have a lovely break Flowers

Ediemccreedy · 24/06/2019 22:55

Hope you have WiFi, overinvested in the outcome

JudefromJersey · 25/06/2019 09:22

My husband occasionally wears salmon coloured khaki/chino style trousers in the summer. They’re slightly skinny and dare I say it, quite cool. We do sometimes muse as to whether we would fall into the category of red trouser brigade purely on the basis of his summer trouser choice but given we are generally self aware, I hope not.
I do have a friend who wears red fat cords. He is a chinless ex boarding Hugh Grant type (sweet rather than hurrah Henry however) and there’s no irony in his choice.
But I digress, I really am dying to know if Dick(head) and Carole showed up at the airport but I have a feeling OP would have updated if that were the case.

TheGrapefulDread · 25/06/2019 11:42

@JudefromJersey : Salmon it’s like he’s not even trying! No shade paler than Padstow Pillar Box ime worth consideration for this social ‘accolade’ Grin
