Secretary/Wife

6 weeks ago, we decided to go away for a few days for our 52nd. Anniversary. (Lake District) 19 Sept. Booked, paid, received confirmation. The week prior we went to our static caravan in the Dales. Fri. 16th. Sept. My Secretary/Wife took a call on her mobile. The coach driver was at the pick-up point waiting for us. My wife insisted our trip was Monday for our anniversary. No insisted the driver. We advised him we couldn!t make the pick.up, and they left without us. We returned home and checked the booking. My Secretary had got it wrong.!!! I threatened to fire her. Her answer. FIRE ME,!! I will then have time to sit down and write my memoirs.

Best Regards Doug.

p.s. I hope I reach our 53rd.

  11. Hi Guys. We could have driven to the Lakes in our car, joined the trip and then driven home at the end of the trip.
    Defeated the object of going by coach and saving on fuel.
    Thanks all for your comments.
    Regards Doug.
