What? His bus pass? When daughter had to move out of Canaries in an emergency, she had to get an emergency passport from the Embassy before she could get on a plane!
Mind you, when my mum made her last visit to the UK, for DD1's wedding- in 1999- she was in a wheelchair with airport assitance, and my dad at ther side. She gave her passport and they say 'but Mrs G. your passport is 8 years out of date' she took the guy's hands and smiled, and said 'don't be silly young man, I am going to my grand-daughter's wedding- surely at my age, these things don't matter any more' - he smiled back, bowed and said 'here you go Maam and have a lovely time'.
Anyhow, the got through and onto the Shunnel no problem- spending the night on the way, and should be crossing into Switzerland about 12am- all fingers crossed.
Which year was that Rose? Can you remember where she worked?
We will all be going there again next year, as it is 'our' favourite family resort, for DH's 70th BD.
