The Heineken Bar in Dubai airport will be getting another visit.
I'd love to visit Perth, and Western Australia, but the thought of the flying really puts me off (quite apart from the expense that is:wink

Enjoy your glass of gnats pee in Dubai.

It's either Heineken or very badly pulled draft Guinness Gwyn.

The wife has just checked prices in March and its around GBP880 return from Newcastle to Perth with Emirates. I flew KLM for many years but to Oz it means changing carrier.

That you would Alan. At GBP761 for a K3 in Oz less the 10% GST when you leave, so at GBP685 you certainly would have change.

Now:
E ticket-yes
Passport-yes
Kettle on for another cuppa before leaving to the airport....

Does Dubai airport still have one of the cheapest (for whisky) duty free shops anywhere? Probably changed a bit since 1983

It does Stan. Cheapest items are Alcohol, gold and tobacco. All of the electronic stuff is quite pricey and cheaper on the local streets.

Mrs Snap was amazed when I told her if you went to buy an item (eg gold bracelet) they just weighed it gave a price which you then haggled a bit, made for the exit and got it at a good price

Pointless!!! Trying to update a Tomtom Go 1000,Grrr! All I do is go round in circles. Uploaded and followed the instructions to the letter. Their system is more pointless than pointless. What have I ever done to a Cloggie to deserve this?
Enjoy life

I upgraded from 'sat-nag' (girlfriend with a map) to a smart phone with sat nav - we have a lot less arguments on directions now

As it is electrical shouldn't you ask the nearest teenager how to do the techie stuff
K10D, K5 plus plenty of clueless enthusiasm.
