You had a hot summer? Lucky [Poor language removed]!
Repeatedly reached 30c every month since May. Hovering around 18c every night. Only stopped using a tower fan at night about three days ago. Haven't had the heating on since the end of March.

England is an odd place when it comes to weather - I often forget that what we get on the south coast is pretty different to what people experience in Gloucester, Liverpool, Solihull, Halifax or Durham; I suppose that's why I always find it odd that people go overseas in July / August searching for hot weather!
 
Turkish Airlines just cancelled my flight due to operational issues. It's annoying but I get it. Thankfully I haven't booked hotels so I'll switch my trip around a little. My problem is that they've decided to refund me only 90% of the original cost. That's unacceptable. They have a week before I get my bank to recover it..

What logic do they have only giving you 90 % thats not on at all
 

Lufthansa cancelled a flight on me having sat on the runway for an hour last week. Gotta submit my compensation claim still. Will see how it goes

….having been away myself this last fortnight, just getting on a flight that leaves on time is increasingly rare.

On the trip to Cyprus from Manchester, we we were already an hour late and then had to sit for another hour on the plane because of a ‘technical problem’. Coming back on Sunday we were again delayed but sent to stand on the stairs of the plane in 31 degrees for 40mins because it wasn’t yet ready.

Liverpool airport seems much better than Manchester, I’d always chose Speke given the option.
