Nah.
My father lives in the US. Sorry.

Normally I have the most Luddite medieval views on stuff, but in this instance if it took a 2-week boat trip (or whatever it is) to get out to see my old boy, it would mean I never saw him again, probably.

I only get 20 days' holiday a year - if it took 14 days to get there and 14 to get back I'd have to meet him for a swift pint at the port and then immediately return home.

That's the kind of thing that 'Ultimate Wizard' Cleggsy would propose. He's so cool - nothing like a bland regional sales manager delivering an arse-achingly dull speech in the hospitality suite of a Bracknell travel tavern. Nothing like that AT ALL.

Oh I see....
We all have to deal with the billions of tons of carbon immisions that aircraft brings into the atmosphere each and every second, just because you can't take a month or two off work and go see your old man for one last time.
