Interesting Tony. There I was thinking you'd carked in Sydney so many years ago (which would have been a dreadful place to pull the plug).Just be aware that it is a EUR200 fee plus any change in fare, but yes ex EU fares are remarkably good value - I am a veteran of 20+ over the last four years.
I've just been listening to all your radio programmes Tony, (some of which I remember from the '50s when I was extraordinarily young) and watching all the extant television programmes - which inexplicably don't feature Wagga's Bill Kerr. Sacred blue, as the fops say.
May I ask your strategy?
