Foyle's War Again

[Sqad]

After spending 6 months living in the USA he came off the liner with a SMALL suitcase in his hands..............

Perhaps his luggage was in the hold? (It is pretend, you know, sqad!!!!) Sorry xx

[Psybbo]

Sqad, you're just bored x

[albaqwerty]

Didn't 'they' still have trunks and the like for the crew to shift to the hold but left the guests with one or two little cases for their eau de toillette and shaving gear and er, something for the weekend?

Yup, you would meet up with your heavy luggage at customs, see it cleared through, then hand it over to someone like Carter Patterson to transport home for you. We used to go on holiday like that when I was a child. The heavy luggage got collected from our house about a week before we went and was delivered to the caravan site on the saturday that we arrived. It was then collected from the caravan on the day before our departure and arrived back at our house about a week later. We (Mum Dad and three children) travelled by train and taxi with just overnight things in case the luggage got lost.

[albaqwerty]

Woofy, I always thought of you as 'mature' not ancient :-)

[woofgang]

^^ lol^^ you should see me giggling with my dogs, i am not mature either but thanks for the compliment.

[albaqwerty]

The mature was in inverted commas :-)
Growing up is optional, growing old isn't xx

[woofgang]

true....very true.

[Sqad]

LOl..OK.....all points taken.

[Mamyalynne]

When they took him to the office they mentioned his other luggage.

[tonyav]

Hey sqad what did you think of the 'Old School Tie Brigade' in MI5 ?.

[Sqad]

Mamy...LOL......OK white flag waving.

In TV programmes and films I've often commented about the amount of luggage compared with the number of outfits!

I have always enjoyed the Foyle's War series. Have taped last nights episode and intend to watch probably tonight.

I was a bit surprised that they did not feature an episode about his trip to the US though- Didn't the storyline suggest that he gone to the US to follow up on a criminal from an episode in an earlier series?

Love Foyle's War especially Michael Kitchen as Foyle, last nights episode took a bit of getting into but was still enjoyable, prefer the World War 2 episodes but we have to move with the times, thought it was sad to see how much Foyle and Sam had aged, but glad that they are going to be working together again.

Zebo, when you packed for that kind of travelling, everything was swathed in tissue, packed in its own case or bag or hung in the travelling trunk because there were no creaseproof fabrics or quick drying synthetics. People dressed a lot more formally so a man would carry suits, a blazer, tails of course, as well as more casual tweeds and shoes for each outfit. A gentleman would carry a pair of hairbrushes, clothes brush, wet shaving paraphernalia, no disposable razors or cans of shaving foam and ladies of course would have a dressing case. Both genders would also carry multiple hats, ladies with the addition of evening headwear. I am probably the last generation who would travel with a vanity case, my own is a red samsonite one.
