LadyE, I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed your history lesson on the many languages of Britain. I wish I had known you when I was over there a year ago. Perhaps, next trip... I also thought your statement regarding the potential divide caused by too many languages in a homeland to be very astute. The overwhelming catering to the Spanish speakers in the USA has become a big bone of contention. Too often, no attempt to assimilate. But, 'tis true, we actually do not have an official language. Didn't they try to get a law passed on that? Just asking, in case anyone knows.
For Myself, I traveled to England last year. Since My mother and sister were traveling from another state, they took separate flights and we paid a bit more for a business class upgrade for them to ensure that Mom would be as comfortable as possible. From there she and My sister were upgraded to first class. Aparently the hovering attention was incredible. That was BA. I flew BA with My sister-in-law from Az, and it was no better than a Continental or America West flight. Packed in like sardines in the ever loving coach section, but we did, at least, get okay meals...long, long flight. Many years ago I flew Aer Lingus, and the flight was delightful. Good meals and anything I wanted to drink when I wanted it. Sounds like that airline has changed since those olden days.
