So on Wednesday I left to get my train for my mini-holiday and I get to the train station and it is a half hour late. I get on then it gets stalled for almost a half hour as well so I miss my connecting train in Picadilly to the airport, waiting another half hour, finally get to the airport but all the counters are closed with not a soul there even though I still had 45 minutes to departure, defeated for the day and already late (22.00) I resign myself to staying at an airport hotel so that I might negotiate an exchange of tickets or something to save my trip; hotel is way too expensive, even though they have free 'wireless' the connection doesn't work, so I ask them at the reception and they say they can't do anything about it, air conditioning doesn't work either, like an oven, didn't get a wink of sleep, get out of bed at 6:30, head back down to the airport asking the staff where the Tuli counter is, no one has a clue, finally find them after being told to go in 3 different directions and even though I have evidence from my train tickets they refuse to cut me any slack and insist I but new ones and the next flight isn't even till midnight so after all this I decide to cut my losses and return crestfallen to York, being dirt poor I can't just throw over 200 quid out the window and then spend more... :-\
Lessons to be learnt:
*Never take the trains in the UK, if you don't have a car, take a coach because you probably will get to your destination faster walking than with the train.
*Never fly out of Manchester, it's the 3rd time I have had problems there with the staff and general misdirectedness.
*Don't stay at airport hotels unless ABSOLUTELY necessary.
*It's better to have money than be poor.
That was all just Murphy's Law writ large in one's face...

so... holiday was alright for ya?

sorry couldn't be arsed to read your whining and only read: *It's better to have money than be poor.
Which made total sense to me.
