It’s been another week of fun and games. Let’s see what’s happened in Last Week at Economy Class and Beyond.
Just a city seagull in a city seagulls world.

Next Week
Minister Grant Shapps is scheduled this week will open his mouth and should make noises about travel restrictions and changes to the Green/Amber/Red Lists – I’ll be keeping a close eye on what comes out of his mouth, whilst trying to avoid a Twitter ban again.
On top of that, I’ve got a few articles that are waiting for me to put the finishing touches. I’ll also be keeping on top of the news and headlines that matter to you.
Until then, stay safe!
