To right Daisy, like the first flights where the seats were wider and you had silver service ,
A by gone era that they should bring back,
But they won't as it's all down to profit isn't it ,

Yes, I remember when you had proper cutlery and plates etc when flying, and even proper food! People would dress smartly to fly on holiday. I had a friend who always wore a glamorous hat and often got given an upgrade if one was available.

I don't remember that Daisy but I do remember Goldfinger. We were staying with my auntie uncle and two cousins in Nottingham. My mum and her SIL went to see it and I remember them both being very impressed by Sean Connery!

I always like Roger Moore as Bond. I liked the bits of humour, and much later Daniel Craig."Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognise how good things really are. "
