Cable Forum - Moans and Pet Hates

RyanAir digital check in, if someone is flying to the UK they can check in a month or so before however the boarding pass won't get issued until 48hrs before the flight due to ETA authorisation, no idea why it has to be 48hrs and it can't be issued before when the ETA is attached to the passport, this creates unnecessary stress.

I guess it's the same for all airlines though.

The omission of packing and use-by dates is part of our current packaging format and is not an error. Seed quality is monitored through batch control and germination testing programmes to ensure that all seed supplied meets our quality standards at the time of dispatch."

Re: Moans and Pet Hates

About an hour ago (today 15th June) I received an email from VM.
The usual stuff telling me how to be secure online, the marvelous things I can watch on TV (and even more if I upgrade), how I can recover space on my phone, my 'indispensable guide to the biggest FIFA World Cup ever', which hand to wipe with etc etc.

The email is dated 12th June.

It's a new thing for them as I just checked all old packs, and the date and useby dates have always been printed on the packs.

I was sowing the seeds that arrived, and the average content is marked as "25 seeds". I got 26, 6 with a lot of chaff, and 7 with a lot of chaff. Stern email going off later.
