    Rods on planes

    Mark, Never used BA ! This year used Emirates and Thomson, previous years have mainly been the likes of Thomas Cook ,Virgin etc what I normally do is tell them at the check in I've never been charged before if they try to charge me, but as long as I'm not over weight they stick a label on it...

    Rods on planes

    I always take a rod in a tube on holiday and have NEVER been charged any excess either way, destinations include Mauritius, India, Cuba, and most of the Caribbean on various airlines including traveling economy, you just have to take it to "Oversize Luggage" Dave

    Life Jacket

    I hear what your saying about the crutch strap and when it comes to replacing mine I may well go down that route,but having said that when I put my current crewsaver jacket on and tighten it all up and lock the safety clip it is comfortable to wear all day and does not interfere with whatever...

    Life Jacket

    I have a Crewsaver 150N and it's about time it was serviced,but looking on their website they say "Allow 28 days for the work to be carried out" This is not acceptable to me ! Can anybody recommend another service agent that offers a better service ? Or can this work be carried out by...

    At last

    A bit premature Marcus I would say ! Over the next 4 days for instance a total of 28mm of rain is forecast in Wales according to Metcheck So I would say by Saturday there might be a significant rise and a some colour in the river Wye at Ross And that will certainly switch the fish on ...
