did I get this right
okay, let me understand this.
Your friend is sitting in a hotel in GOA, hot, warm, beach, and cannot come home due to a broken plane. Presumably all the extra bills are paid for by the travel company.
I'm sitting in cold, wet, windy Malham with a ton of bedrooms to get ready in my B&B, with 2 staff taking the day off just like that, 1 running late cos she's helping her Dad, my car just jammed it's gearbox as wy wife decided to back up a hill to get out the way of a truck,
and your mate is stressed!
I wish there was a Star Trek type transporter type thingie to swap place with your mate RIGHT NOW!
