I had exactly the same conversation a couple of weeks ago with the now ex,

when the last one went bust. It's weird isn't it? I wouldn't look any lower than Ryanair or Sleazyjet when booking flights. At least with them they are recognisable companies who are not likely to just disappear. I've looked before at trips abroad and there are so many dirt cheap ones that ring alarm bells in your head!

But when you see these companies go bust and the reporters talk to the affected customers on tv and in the papers etc, they are all the same type of people. Going somewhere to go and get pissed everyday, a herd of brats each, usually from Leeds.
