Regarding the episode on cheap flights from a couple of weeks ago, Martin gave 2 blonde girls a computer each to get flight prices from direct from BA and America airlines and the other girl has to search a screen scraper. the screen scraper won of course being much cheaper, but then later Martin went on the PC himself and found prices like £10 for a one way ticket to Milan etc as long as you searched on a non specific date.

what was the site he was on ? He never mentioned it.

Dont suppose they will bring back the penny flight promotion they were rubbing a while back. That was a great deal. The only drawback being Ryan Air would charge you more than the cost of the flight to process your credit card

Are you suggesting that blonde girls cannot operate computers ? if Not then why mention they were blonde ?

I don't think that the op meant any disrepect by describing the girls as blonde. It certainly doesn't come across as being meant in any derogatory way to me, but everybody can interpret things differently.
