Add to that waiting for hours at airports for other peoples luggage, other planes to arrive to connect with your coach to resort, long transfers with no food, being taken hours too early to the airport for the return journey so that the coach can connect with the inbound flight, no legroom on the aircraft, Lyon airport... in fact any airport on a charter flight... I could go on for hours!

One from yesterday people who enter a crossroad junction with traffic lights without the way ahead being clear, do none of these people read their highway code ?

D G Orf, He could have been French, that's compulsory over here. Using indicators under any circumstances whatsoever is also highly frowned upon, as is parking on pavement leaving sufficient space for pedestrians to squeeze through. You also get brownie points for parking on zebra crossings, and macho points for driving with one bare arm hanging out of the window.

Nope she was definatly British, had what looked to be her daughter in the car who looked more embaressed than the driver, I know because I had to sit at the lights for two changes waiting for something to occur to her, in the end she actually reversed and went a different route, so at least she did something

I remember waiting to drive off from near to that excellent (and entirely above board) sauna in Golders Green, while a pink-haired lady of uncertain age in a Roller attempted a straightforward left turn at a crossroads. She underturned first time, backed up, tried again, backed up..... spectators built up, open-mouthed amazement. It lasted a good ten minutes, no one so much as honked a horn it was so entertaining....

Sorry PG, I was posting "On Topic". I know I shouldn't and it won't happen again. 
Probably ever actually.

Flat bits

ashton parker, you must be either a boarder or a snowblader?! We skiers have no problem with 'flat bits'!

boarder of course, Although I can't believe many skiers like flat bits either. At best they are boring and if it is flat and narrow then they can be dangerous as well. The only good place for a flat bit is getting on and off a chair lift.

Nah, only wimps would say that, a good flat stretch, even slightly uphill, can be taken at speed by a reasonable skier!

I'm a skier and I hate flat bits too.
(Remember Ours down to Mottaret?)
What I really hate most is the last ski of the holiday. Handing in your hire skis means it's really over.

Chris Bish, I'm with you Chris - not the flat bits bit - but the last day of the holiday, and why is it that you go and get so seriously wrecked the night before, that you can't even ski properly on the last day anyway !!

The last ski run of the holiday, oh and going down to Lauterbrunen from Wengen when I'm on my way home

Agree with everyone on the last day bit - and the early transfers! No more charters here!

No-one has mentioned revolting one piece suits yet - maybe "object of ridicule" rather than "pet hate"
BTW my pet hates the fact that I have a wooden floor in the living room & she skids around on it like Bambi on ice

Lucie Axford, love it! - we've a close to 100kg mastiff that is trying to adapt to a slippery tiled floor in our new house, paws tend to slide out in all directions....

Millie is a bit lighter than that - she's only a rabbit!
In the old (carpet) days she used to like jumping up into an armchair to watch TV (Casualty is her favourite) & the first time she tried it from the wooden floor she ended up doing a somersault & head-butting the chair. I know it's cruel, but we laughed. lots. I don't think she's forgiven us yet
