How quickly London weather changes! Yesterday and early part of today we were baking in temperatures more like back in Zimbabwe, and now we have hail stones, thunder and lightning. Now I’m stuck in the house, London weather???

Passengers travelling on budget airline, Ryanair could soon be told to load their own luggage onto planes and could also be charged £1 for using the toilet.

Ryanair believes they could save money if it did not have to pay for baggage handlers. But will that work?? Ryanair chief executive, Michael O’leary, says: ‘I believe we will start charging for toilet use.’ He added: ‘If we can get rid of two of the three toilets on a plane, we can add six seats. Peny-pinching business executives will do anything posible to get your last peny. But one day they will learn the hard way when they are out of business.

The Queen of Spain travelling on budget airline, Ryanair. That’s not more like royal travel isn’t it? Well, it’s been in the British press as a lesson in cost cutting to the British royal family. The Queen of Spain travelled on a £13 Ryanair flight to London.

The 70 year old mornarch flew with the low cost airline from Santander to Stansted. The Queen travelled to the UK to visit her brother Constantine, the former king of Greece, who is recovering from heart surgery in London.

National Express services is introducing a £5 rail levy just to reserve a seat on it’s trains. Is this fair or it’s another rip-off by the train companies?

Personally i think if you pay your train fare you should get a seat, especially on those long journey trains. National Express is going to charge travellers £2.50 a trip on top of standard class tickets. I think it’s time companies stop these customer rip-offs. Feel free to share what you think.

We are set for a hot summer in Britain. The Met office is predicting temperatures regularly above 30 degrees in it’s long-range forecasts. This is good news, something to cheer us up in these gloomy days, we have the Credit Crunch and now Swine Flu.

Time to sort out those plans for a summertime of fun.

The Met Office says; “Across the UK it’s likely to be warmer than average. Rainfall is predicted to be near or below average for the 3 months of summer.

Lets get ready to enjoy the summer weather. There will surely going to be loads of BBQs, summertime parties, music festivals or days out at the beach.

Thank God I spent all those hours in the Gym, and now I’m in perfect condition for summertime. Bring it on….

What are your plans for the summertime? Feel free to contribute.

Daylight saving…..well, in Africa we didn’t have anything like that. All these years in London, I still find it hard to cope with losing my one hour when clocks go forward….especially when I was working in the morning. Plus it was a cold weekend again…..how I miss the weather back home.

But, thank God…sunny weather is on it’s way this week. Sunny weather is expected in most parts of the UK this week. It feels like summer is here now.

Time to get out of the house, explore all those attractions in London. Country walk time again. Gym plus country walk…..I’m on my way to get the perfect body that I have been working on. I call it the perfect summer body.

Is it time to through away my big coat? I guess so…until winter comes back again.
