From the website:
“The Adviceguide website is the main public information service of Citizens Advice, providing people with round-the-clock access to CAB information on their rights – including benefits, housing and employment, and on debt, consumer and legal issues.”
A BA pilot has taken the airline’s ‘hug a pilot’ training scheme a little too far: the married captain has only gone and gotten a teenage stewardess pregnant.
UPDATE: 8th August 2011. It appears David Cameron went back; ordered more drinks and left almost a 100% Tip! Why? A photo opportunity? A mis-reporting of the service that he received from Miss Ariani?
If one word sums up Orlando to visitors from the UK or Ireland it would probably be Disneyworld. It is also the 4th largest shopping area in the US after New York, Los Angeles and Las Vegas. The next word might be Universal. espcially sine the Harry Potter area opens next month. But would you think of Winter Park? Similarly if you asked people about shopping in New York, they might say Park Avenue. But have you heard of Park Avenue, Winter Park?
I would be prepared to make a small wager that most of the visitors from our countries never visit Winter Park or even know that it is there. It is about 20 miles away from Orlando and is an upmarket area, a bit like a large village with one main street, Park Avenue, Off this street radiate a few shops, the Morse Museum of Modern Art and, slightly further away, the Polasek Museum and Sculpture Garden. Park avenue is full of boutique shops for clothing, some souvenirs and restaurants galore. hardly a chain store there.
