    Agree Pepe....he managed to get 400 or whatever tons of 747 into LHR from LA safely,yet is made to wait 3 hours by some 'elf n safety jobsworth who won't/can't make a decision to allow drivers on the ramp..."too icy"...my ar5e!!

    Have you seen the old Shakin' Stevens Christmas video on the music channels?

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLSdsNw3jN0

    At the end all the kids are stood close together waving huge candles and naked flame torches around, If you listen very carefully you can hear the Health & Safety officers sh!tting a brick. (yes they risk assessed the brick first!)

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    ....in one of the worlds busiest airports which is blessed with enough ground de-icing equipment to clear the Anatarctic.

    When will someone stand these people up, give an appraisal on their performance.........and then sack them? there are millions out there who could spread a bit of grit a couple of times a year, even the ones who have never seen snow!!..............give someone a hi-viz and a clipboard and they can hold the entire world to ransom.
    :D:D stay wonky :D:D

    ....one-way ticket to Portugal booked !

    Have made shepards pie and its browning off in the oven ooo I am good :D

    Were there passengers on the plane too SRM?? Must have been a right pain in the backside!!

    Bookie - I think Sammy is too, plus earlier I told people off for talking too loudly in the quiet coach so I've got a touch of it (normally would just grumble under me breath but actually got up and told them to shhhh ;))

    Have to say though I was very impressed with the bus from the train station to OHs - very handy that is and he called me 'love' just like in Bristol ahhhhh :D

    I have coffee and am not moving now - want wine but am trying to be good ;)
