Went on a coach trip from UK to Paris once , not so far....but it was sheer torture for me...
I've heard the same from Poles I know here who used to travel on the coaches to the UK. They also told me it used to be fifty quid return!
I can also recall a low cost flight back to the UK last year I took that had a drunk man and his friend (Polish I think) refuse to sit down and then staggering around the aisle as the plane came into land over Stansted. He shouted a bit as the crew tried to seat him and that then set the young passengers off wailing. Imagine that but for 13 hours, not much fun, I'd not want to pay 429zl for that.
I think even the cloudiest of crystal balls could have foreseen that, wildie. I hate rowdy buses, not much worse!
There was a bloke the size of a small mountain sitting at the back of a bus I was on, using the Polish word for tart seemingly at every woman on the bus it seemed. This went on for 20 mins. No, I was not brave enough to tackle him and neither did anyone else, he was enormous.
