You mentioned a travel agent?
You booked with a travel agent or you booked with BA?
Whoever you booked with, it is their responsibility to look after you. Your contract is with them.
So, if you booked with XYZ travel company, they need to look after you.
If you booked with BA directly, they need to look after you.
In the case of BA, they are obliged to get you back to Glasgow - even it it means you going with another airline.
Booked with Barrhead Travel but they don't seem that interested. I would have thought they at least should be pressing BA for a suitable solution.

Anyone work in the travel industry or a seasoned traveller who knows their rights?
My family and I are in California. On the way out they lost my son's case. We got it back a few days later (damaged) so that was a bad start to the holiday so that's something to claim once we get back.
The more pressing problem is BA have now cancelled our Heathrow Glasgow connection on the way back. Travel agent suggested by email we get a train to Newcastle and try and claim back for that! No chance. Not least that's not even the right country! How is that a logical solution. My wife just got a message from BA now saying we're booked on a Gatwick Newcastle flight without speaking to us. That's not suitable at all.
Is there any pressure we can put on BA to get us back to Glasgow that same day regardless of what provider they have to book us on? That being the case, does anyone have a reliable and workable phone no for BA?
Thanks!

Most of these are quite obviously c****. The one that surprised, and disappointed, me was Law.

Bring back good old family values.
If you think Scottish blood is diluted that easily fair enough.
I guess you don't have children.
I lived in the Black Country for a bit but moved back. I have a son (who has no interest in football so it's a moot point) but if he had been born in England, lived there his formative years, schooled there etc, if he had been an international level footballer, I could hardly tell him to turn his back on everything in his growing-up environment that had made him and pick Scotland over England. I guess everyone is different, but this pish from folk who chose to leave Scotland and then chose to have a family in England then turning round and telling their kids they're Scottish not English doesn't sit easy with me. After how many generations are the kids allowed to be English?

Underestimate me at your peril ! ☠️
Within the benevolent society I am not known as Tidy the Tremendous Tzar for nothing . I shall give my time for nothing, it will,, after-all, be more productive than sitting on here talking shite for hours every day.
I am pretty sure I could entice Duncan to join me , and perhaps a few others. It will not be on one off job , I am fairly certain our skill set could be used for the next ‘ bung the better off’ government funded project. Maybe Malcolm could donate his massive hoose for the task, we would bring our own blankets and flasks.
If you are interested please PM me.👍 In.

Not all second homes are “holiday” homes. Here’s an example. A friend of mine who has a very well paid job in London has a small house in East London but his family home is in York where his wife is from, she lives there with the kids and he stays in London during the week when he’s at work. What should he do? Give up the job in London, rent somewhere in London - much more expensive - move the family to London, get a divorce? That’s an unusual scenario, however I suspect that a large proportion of that 500,000 are people in similar situations.
Not sure I have a HUGE amount of sympathy for your "very well paid" friend.

Its still 500,000 no matter how you disguise it. And its still £ 120 million being spent on people who don’t need the money.
With you 100% on this. Multiple home owners is something I can't stand. Nobody needs more than one house. For them to now get this payment, multiple times, boils my piss. God, we need a revolution. Capitalism sucks.

Meant in general.
People seem to think Warburton is a joke figure because he managed Rangers, nobody could have done much better under similar circumstances, some of the football Rangers played was excellent, their next appointment was a backwards step even after 10 million spent.
His football philosophy is excellent, I’ve always loved watching his teams, total football.
To be fair, you've had people point out the mentalness of your suggestion. I'd just stop it now. 😄

Probably,but i'd guess of less interest to 95% of people who use this forum.
I correct grammar for a living so I appreciate his interest in the subject and, indeed, welcome his comments. Opinions are better expressed if correct grammar is used. For example, this very message is all over the place and does not, as a result, add much to the argument. Nevertheless, my point stands, regardless of my poorly worded gibberish in this instance. 🙆🏿♂️

Yeah, they’ve sat back lately. Started off really well though. End to end but Lyon deservedly in front.

All the critics of womens football in this forum should check out this final. Cracking game, high standard.

I have 2 x tickets for Charlatans in Glasgow on Wednesday if anyone wants them. Cost 40 each. Selling for 70 or best offer.

Anyway, how do you know what’s on TV when you don’t have a license and claim not to watch it?
UK political correspondents are pretty lazy as a rule and won’t look past Westminster and will interview people there and for NI, that’s pretty much just the DUP as SF don’t take their seats. There’s a couple of SDLP MPs now so that gives an option. On some of the coverage over then weekend one of them - Claire Hanna - was on the panel and one of the other guests criticised her for being in WM and not Stormont. That wasn’t saying she shouldn’t be in WM at all but more that she would do more good in Stormont. She made the point that until they were elected, there was no moderate NI voice there, ie, WM, but that rolls on to the lobby media as well. Interestingly double jobbing isn’t allowed in Stormont, so Jeffrey Donaldson has a big decision to make,
If you want to get a better understanding BBCNI actually has some very decent politics programs, better than BBC Scotland IMHO, but then you need to have a TV license to watch them 😉
On this side of the pond, licence is the noun, license is the verb. Stop getting words wrong. It diminishes your analysis. 😀

I just Said you can't really compare them both because they are so far apart. Not sure why I need have a lie down for saying that. The game has changed so much in 55 years its not fair to compare them
Your first sentence is utter mince by the way. This has nothing to do with the Canadian gump. I responded to someone else. I doubt anyone on this board detests rangers as much as me but at least I have the sense to acknowledge the magnitude of what they could be about to do.
It’s not mince. Your whole TAMB persona is based around a dislike, and attempted winding up, of somebody else.
The achievement is still in the balance. If it were to come to pass, it would be extremely noteworthy. But you had the temerity to compare it to a genuine mould-breaking team of immense talent. It’s a ridiculous comparison, as well as a quite premature one.

Back then clubs played with local players because it wasn't that common for clubs to sign loads of foreign talent. As much as I can't stand Rangers..............if they won the Europa league it would be up there with the greatest achievements by a club from Scotland.
I don;t think its fair to compare 67 with Rangers potentially winning the Europa league 55 years later. two completely different
In saying the above I hope Rangers get royally humped on Thursday. Mon the Red Bull
I know you’ll say anything in order to avoid being in agreement with Ramy, but, jeez, have a wee lie down. The two are not remotely in the same stratosphere. It gets harder to acknowledge the further away in time the achievement gets, but I’m sure you can access a video of it. Blimey. That’s an incredible take.

I couldn't be less enthused about Kilmarnock and their plastic pitch and empty stands returning to the top flight.
Horrible football club. My second least favourite team behind Hamilton. Fucking tin pot club.
Stick to the weird hate shit in the politics thread. Your weird hate shit here isn’t gonna dampen Killie moods.

Listen to yourselves and your selfish, small-minded comments being aimed at Ukraine for having the temerity to want to play an important football match to the best of their ability.
That’s where I am too. Bonkers anger on display.

Should've won it by miles today. Dunfermline's Polish keeper looks a future star though.
Massive Friday night coming up now, Inverness not a favourite destination of ours however 😬
Yeah, their keeper was great. They offered nothing at all attacking wise though. Killie we’re good.

Agree,cant see a way of playing the formation without him unless we just play mega defensive or lopsided.
Be easier to go back to the bad old days of 4-5-1
Although I said irreplaceable 😀 I’d rather just replace him rather than change formation. Cooper in at LCB. I’d then put McTominay in at right so we at least have one forward-carrying central defender.
-
No Tierney for playoffs. Always suspected we’d lose someone big. Probably the most irreplaceable.

I know it was one game but it shone a light on why McGregor is ahead of Jack in the pecking order for Scotland at the moment.
He’s on a different level to Jack.

These people pushing for Jack to be in the Scotland side ahead of McGregor. Lol. 🤣

Thanks Rich. We aren't seasoned travelers. This is a trip of a lifetime for a big birthday. Just been stressed from the start! We'll get it sorted.
