I once had a tuna sandwich on a Jet2 flight. And mighty fine it was too.
Hopefully this post will form a useful stepping stone back to the topic, whilst acknowledging the fishy nature of recent posts.

Solved.
harrogate must not be in financial difficulties if he could afford a tuna sandwich on a Jet2 flight.
There you go True Blue, back onto Jet2 with a rumour that they sell affordable tuna butties

Drake's in ****ley ( Sorry, Shipley!) do some nice fish and chips too. Murgy's is too expensive and is hit or miss - depends on which Pole is cooking.
However they do need to cook the chips in Beef Dripping - oh yes!
Unfortunately, I now live in Spain, so can no longer have proper fish and chips.
Are the Madrid flights gonna be operating again next summer? Hope so or I'll be going around the ruddy houses to get back home. I understand the loads have been pretty good.
Why do airlines decide to totally stop flights to destinations once it gets to winter - surely the a/c would be full if they flew once or twice a week.

You can get fish and chips in Spain as good as in England. When I say Spain I mean Palma Nova which boasts several good fish and chips shops, unlike the Costa Del Sol.
Jet2 as far as I can see have not got any schedule for Madrid on their website for next summer as yet, unlike for the Costas - But they must fly to Spain's capital.
As far as destinations are concerned, at Blackpool jet2 stop all the Costa and Balearic Island destinations, except Alicante - but start a once a week to Tenerife and Geneva.
I for one would not want to go to the Costa Brava in the depth of winter, maybe to Benalmadena though or some similar destination.
Good luck getting back from Madrid, doubt you will need it though.

The "Wetherby Whaler" was placed there by the gods specifically for the benefit of crews positioning between Manchester/Liverpool and Newcastle/Teeside - it has never let me down either. There was a dodgy moment when someone built a bypass, but crews still found it okay.
Sounds like a business opportunity here pre book your fish and chips on-line and have them served up just after take off.
Good old Yorkshire folk sat in flat caps munching away, can you imagine what the cabin would smell like! Never mind grease and curry sauce down the seats!
Come on Jet 2 get the chips in its Friday!

The pubs used to shut all their front doors; the yobbos didn't have the wit to find the back doors to the pubs. Saturday night for the locals in Wetherby was flitting between the Crown, the Red Lion, the Three Legs et al, entering and exiting via side doors, dodging drunken yobs intent on beating any local senseless!

All this talk of fish and chips is making me hungry!.
I see the Jet2.com website now says"Est 1978,flying high for 30 years".
Do you think this is a move by Jet2 to try and bolster the public's confidence into booking with them,given the rumours recently that were recently going around about their likely demise?.
I've put nearly £600 into Jet2's coffers,with 2 seats to Sharm el Sheikh in Feb from LBA.

Why shouldn't they celebrate 30 years? Jet2.com is a development of Channex rather than a 2003 start-up. The operation has been running 30 years and that is well worth celbrating

Well done Monarch! In my IT charter days we used to poke fun at Monarch because they had...er....a fleet of older aircraft which they had paid for and everybody expected them to go bust the whole time. I'm glad they are still there. My employer, with its fleet of brand new 737s (and two old A300s admittedly), never made a loss and lasted 8 years before being swallowed up
