Pole to Pole

Remember Michael Palin's TV programme Pole to Pole? Interesting as that was, he didn't go from one pole to the other using only human power, he left that to these two nutters. Rob and James (who went to my old school) are already half way there. Why? To highlight climate change and also top what they did last year, becoming the youngest ever Britons to climb Mount Everest.

Bereavement fares

A tip that hopefully you'll never have to use - if you have had a death in the family and need to fly to the funeral, some commercial airlines offer bereavement fares that are around half the price of a full price ticket. Not all offer this though as they would argue that cheap airline tickets are something they already offer, but I'm glad that businesses are sensitive to this sort of thing. A copy of the death certificate apparently is all they need.
