Absolute chaos. I have been sitting on the 16:05 to Newcastle for three and a half hours, waiting to be de-iced. No-one seems to have any information at all about what is happening, or when we are likely to go.

There are a lot of young kids on the plane (its that time of year), whe are getting very fractious. Fortunately the general atmosphere is one of good humour (so far at least)
