Re: Another Rip Off?

I dont know if its just general banter with some of you guys or is it that some of you do not see eye to eye. But whatever you do or have to do in your life is your choice. If you dont like the idea of paying a pound for a poxy trolly. Dont. If you feel that its not right and you dont want to pay. Dont. If you know that you require a trolly but dont want to pay. Dont. If you want a trolly and dont mind paying. Do. That is what makes this country of mine great. You have a choice. I dont know if the owners of the airport have a duty of care to provide you with a trolly or not. If they have a duty of care then it should be free. If there is no requierment for them to provide one. then the choice is up to them as if they charge you for it or not. Just like it is the choice of you as to use one or not.

Capitalist? If I lived in one of those authorities I'd be glad that the money from car parks etc was going to fund my local services and reduce my council tax burden.
It was a tongue-in-cheek comment, but of course, you're far too humourless, self-righteous and generally holier-than-thou to see that.

I think some people just can see their hand if its in front off their face cashy, a rip off is a rip off, whether its for a £1 or £1000

That's probably because I haven't had a holiday in a while, not being able to afford one. As I now can't even afford a trolley it makes the prospect even more remote.

Anyhow, I never really fancied sitting in a tin can for hours breathing in other peoples' pumps just to get to some place full of other English people complaining about how 'blighty' is being taken over by foreigners who don't bother to learn the language, whilst drinking a pint of warm beer in the Jolly Roger pub on the Costa del whatnot.

You aren't on your own plenty of us haven't had a holiday for years.

But we don't behave like spoilt, selfish, jealous, little brats, spitting our dummies out because someone can go on holiday.
Maybe their priorities are different to yours, they scrimp and save all year round for a break rather than perhaps peeing it all against the wall?

Grow up or shut up, your contributions to the site are of no value at all.

Bitterness. The last time I had a foreign break was Suez during national service.

The wife recently asked me to take her on an 'expensive journey'. So I took her to Manchester Airport for a ride on a trolley.

Just had a thought, Trollies were only originally charged for because they were not being returned.
Makes you think.
