Strangely we walked round a corner this afternoon (after a coulpe of wie tastings) in Stellenbosch, straight into friends from Church who live round the corner in the UK, but also have a house near Somerset West where they stay for the UK winter. It must be the opposite of Narnia under the White Witch (always winter and never Christmas): a life where it's always summer and you get a South African Christmas every second summer. Will blog some pictures next week when I'm home with a bit of spare bandwidth...<br /><br />Love to go to Australia sometime (but not next week!). Lifetime ambition since having a history master at school who taught at Scotch College, Melbourne.<br /><br />John, I'm really grateful for a clear and accurate description of the relationship between Virgin and Virgin Blue, and its bearing on our freebie: considerably clearer and more concise than anything we were tld at the time by VA. It all worked out fine in the end, as we're having the time of a lifetime together in Cape Town!Bishop Alan Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13879516755776951638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132206171945839649.post-61065353467112770132010-01-22T02:48:56.682+00:002010-01-22T02:48:56.682+00:00Rupert Murdoch did own an airline in Australia.

He bought it in a package deal to get a TV station.<br />Sometime after he sold it that airline collapsed and Richard Branson started the Virgin Blue and V airlines which are going well. Singapore Airlines is a major shareholder in Virgin Atlantic and that might be why Virgin could not sell you a ticket on the Australian Virgin airlines which are rivals to Singapore.
