Thanks for the info lads.
What is that saying, "Speak of the devil and he shall appear"! Well, BA got back to me and I've to go for an assessment at the end of June. Someone is to phone me back with more details next week.
Sprawler - are you from Ireland? What's the story with flights, etc. I priced one today with Aer Lingus and it is £341 return - pwh - what a rip-off! Do BA give you anything towards it?
