Just saw an ad for a programme on RTE at 9.30 tonight
The Way We Were
Its a series about how Ireland used to be and tonight looks at holidays
So if you ever went to Butlins or can remember when you could smoke on a plane going to Spain it'll bring back memories |

"I remember spending almost an hour in the cockpit of an Aer Lingus plane with my kids on the way to Florida in 2000.
"
Yes I was also one of those dads that asked could my kids see the cockpit ....when I was more delighted than them |

"Great show, did anyone watch it??"
Just finished and old enough to remember most of it
So many happy memories on the dart going to Bray
Butlins where I won an all Ireland ballroom dancing championship at the age of 12
Going on a 747 to the Gran Canaries
Brilliant programme |

It was in the 80's in fairness
It would stop in Gran Canaria and 80% of the plane would get off and then refill with people going home
Take off to Tenerife wher the other 20% would get off and refill again with people going home
It was like a bus a 747 packed with Irish people singing,drinking and smoking
Not forgetting the round of applause when we landed
Its a wonder there wasn't a collection getting off for the crew |
