Not T5 related, but had a friend turn up at Bristol airport this morning to say she's never seen it so busy. Shockingly so.

I guess the weather doesn't help. She decided only yesterday to book a week away, so a lot of people look like they have decided with the foreseeable poor UK weather to get away ASAP.

Yes, many people live in absolute squalor. I hear some don't even have butlers!!! The horror! *clutches pearls*

Worth nothing delay repay for trains can be payable for delays over 15 minutes, and with some operators (e.g. LNER) is paid automatically. Also worth noting the maximum you will get is the value of the ticket, so no getting £220 for your £50 HBO ticket
The sooner the better...stuck in JER Lounge awaiting the 1745 to LHR which is now estimating at 1930 !!!

For gods sake it only takes 30 mins to get across it's a complete joke. Hopefully I will make the 2200 to EDI .

Have had 5 San Miguel's in protest.

I am so not looking forward to my flight next week with a connection at Heathrow … connection I understand still like a zoo and there is still no fast track.

...and more freedom to shamelessly gossip about those not present!

EDI Flight left an hour late as well so I made my connection. I could have had a little time in the Lounge had I known rather than nipping out for a fag and coming back in to find only two lanes open at security and no fast track.

Saving grace 800 Bensons arrived back in Edinburgh with me untouched by HMRC.
