Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Has anyone been in the Orient Express?

My MIL wants to treat my OH (and me) to a trip on the Orient Express for his 50th. It’s not really my kind of thing, but I’m willing to give it ago as it seems to involve champagne and 5 course meals!

Anyone have any experience of this kind of trip?

Me! Me!
I loved it - the seats are comfy, the service impeccable, the food and drink good and we were steam hauled by Flying Scotsman before it went to York to be refurbished
(We'll just forget about Flying Scotsman breaking down and having to be rescued by a diesel!)

Have you checked that this isn't just a visit to the cinema?

My parents did it in 2005 for their 40th Wedding anniversary and went to Venice for 3 days and came back on it.

They enjoyed it very much and were treated like royalty.

Got something to say?
