Donald I, emperor of the world.

We were looking at going to Florida but have decided to leave it until after the next election (at the earliest). I suspect there are huge numbers of people across the world doing similar.

We had planned a US Eastern Seaboard & Canada trip next year. Will be Canada only now.

Speaking as an oldie, since when did school trips entail flying across the Atlantic? Other Grandson’s school trip is to Africa (Kenya I think). We used to get a two hour bus trip to High Force (Teesdale) 😂

My other half's big school trip - presumably back in the early 80s - was to Egypt to visit the pyramids. As she now laments, wasted on a bunch of 13 year olds from the Black Country who were more interested in getting drunk on smuggled spirits, robbing the locals & general debauchery.

We had occasional day-trips to Calais from my school in Norf Kent, mostly focused on alcohol & stocking up on pornographic playing cards & flick-knives. Happy days.

Agreed. I think they have been making much of tourist numbers for this summer not really dropping internationally, but that's because a huge majority will have planned and booked their holidays last year. My BiL is heading to Disneyland FL this summer. It remains to be seen how expensive food and merch will be thanks to the tangerine tyrant.

I hear Canada is very popular at the moment. We're heading there this summer :-)

I remember skiing trips. Ours were couchettes on trains with a ferry crossing, in the days before ferries had stabilizing technology and the ships smelt mostly of vomit.

In my day we just had a walk to the local slag heap where we were given a tin tray to slide down on, if we were lucky, and accommodation was sharing a cardboard box with five other kids. We'd have killed for a plate of vomit.

One fifth of a cardboard box, and it had to go back to the grocer's shop the next day, for the next school trip to borrow.

Apparently (but almost certainly not really - unfortunately) a response from the Vatican to Wotsit Hitler setting his addled sights on the Top Job:

Dear Mr Trump.

re your application for the position of Pope.

Thank you for your recent interest in the vacant position of leader of the Catholic faith. Unfortunately, the shortlist of candidates for the position has now closed and
selection procedure will start shortly.

Providing your own gowns is not an advantage for this position as these are supplied by The Vatican's own tailors.

Your application was also rejected due to the following:
1. You are married (four times)
2. You have been divorced (three times)
3. You have committed adultery on many occasions.
4. You are a convicted felon (34 times)
5 Your church attendance is sporadic.
6. Your ability to conjugate Latin verbs is non-existent.

Your resume has been forwarded to St Peter for future consideration.

yours sincerely,
The Vatican
(HR division)

PS St Peter has informed us that you do not have a chance in Hell of entering the Pearly Gates.
PPS Satan has rejected your application also as he feels that you might provide too much competition for his own job.
PPPS St Peter has also clearly stated that Heaven is not for sale and he will not contemplate annexation.
PPPPS Satan says he is open to offers as he sees many similarities with America.

Why is Trump at Disney Florida?


The population voting tendancy isn't going to change much, you're more likely to meet a republican than Trump.

Get a grip 🤣

Getting around will be cheaper, petrol prices is dropping fast in the USA

 

[icowden]

Why is Trump at Disney Florida?

Moron. It's due to

• increased difficulty at US customs / passport control
• hugely increased food prices
• hugely increased goods prices.
• increased risk of being deported

Where do you think Disney Merch comes from? Universal Merch? (Answer - it's China).
There are daily reports of people having their smartphones checked for detrimental comments about dear leader.
America is not welcoming of people who do not possess white skin.
Also the country is massively unstable as it has an unstable leader.

You don't need to drive if you stay on property. Whether you can afford to eat is another matter.

What problems, my mate flies there almost monthly, no issues. He's going this week.

Prices were already high with Bidens term. So that would not be no issue

Being deported, only if you have a criminal record or commit a crime whilst there

Now if you said you couldn't afford it, that's believable 👍

Really pìss poor excuses
