So myself and my kids boarded our flight to come home yesterday. While we were sitting waiting to for everyone to board a suitcase fell from the over head locker onto my head!! The airline couldn't wait to off board us and consequently I am still here with a sore head waiting for another flight!

So to keep me distracted I wondered if anyone wanted to help answer my questions or ask their own! I just want to be clear this is just for fun/entertainment. I am not criticising anything just making observations!

So to start...

When medical care costs so much...how come the hospital I was taken to was an old fashioned, bit run down equivalent to an NHS hospital. Perfectly fine but very basic.

Why are the security staff at Disney World so mean? (Especially to autistic kids, not that they seem to know what autism is!)

Why do Americans not swim but just stand in the pool talking. Only me and the other English man going up and down! 😂

What happened with the security staff?

From what I see in my local pool there are plenty of people who stand and chat right here in the UK. People on holiday are probably just trying to relax, not get their laps in.

They were just rude. And for example one time they needed to wand my autistic daughter and I got down to explain to her and they tutted. Multiple tried to separate us. Just seemed to lack basic understanding. I just couldn't understand wanting to work at Disney World and then being mean to autistic kids.

Interesting - occasionally I see people standing at the side chatting in between lengths. But in Florida if you saw someone swimming they were English - also on holiday. I can't speak for anyone else but I would never think to get in a pool and not swim. And I suppose I still like getting some exercise!

Also why are the ice packs full of hard crunchy ice? 😂
