      Don't know, when did it start? Or are you too busy getting ready for school?

        My plane is already late, due to inclement weather.

        Which means that when it gets into Heathrow, we'll end up at an international stand at terminal 3, needing to catch a bus round to terminal 1. And I'll miss the first bus and have to wait for a second one, since I'm near the front of the plane.

        It's going to be one of those days....

          Depends where you are in the country. Some went back last Monday, some went back today. Wherever you are, it's likely that the schools are back by now, though.

            I think the schools are back but the M25 seemed quiter than I have seen it for months...but there is always a BMW that thinks mirrors and indicators are optional...and sorry girls, but usually driven by a woman!!!

            Yeah, I am having a carp morning...

              Traffic usually calms down during school holidays where I live.

              Some kids were off last week, some the week before. Today they're all back so hence the early start at the office.

                I think half term is over everywhere but is it just me or do the roads seem quieter today than usual?
                It could just be the fact that I was half asleep though...

                  The long stay car park at Manchester airport was quieter than I've ever seen it. I can understand it being busy last week (when Manchester / Oldham / Rochdale were off) and the week before that (when Lancashire were off) but it's quieter today than it's ever been - I had a choice of spaces near the front of the car park ready for a quick exit...

                    Wasn't much good for me either. Floated the odd dog biscuit on the edge of the lillies but did get any takers.
