I have done so, and my son has booked a flight from Cairns to the UK and will arrive here on Boxing Day, returning on the 1st January, presumably just in time to pick over the remains of his house and business.
Would you advise that his wife and two daughters should come with him? The expense would be considerable, in the region of £3000.
Would it be possible to forward this amount to me, assuming that you will have made heavy bets on the Tsunami happening, and can afford this petty sum in order to spare my two little granddaughters?
Alternatively, please quote me odds so that I can have a little private wager with you about the disaster NOT happening. I'm sure you will realise that this is a win/win situation for one of us.....
