Well, at 4:30 this morning the love of my life went off to Italy, having parted with an arm and a leg to fly Alitalia, who have the rare distinction of being the worst airline in Europe with among the most overpaid staff – and have been bankrupt for years.
Could these matters be related, one wonders? Anyhow, Alitalia cancelled their flight – even though BA were still flying there. So it seems Alitalia also have cowardly pilots (who are chauffeur driven to the airport, by the way).
While waiting and praying with other stranded travellers, one girl fainted. So everyone – except the BAA staff – rushed to help. They put her on the ground with her legs up in the air. Finally the BAA staff intervened. Not to help, but to put a screen round her lest other passengers be shocked by her disarray.
When the other passengers wanted to seat her on a chair, they were told it was against health and safety regulations.
How is it possible for grown up people to concentrate with such manic intensity on all the wrong things whilst ignoring the right ones? Even at Christmas, fuckwits rule everything. Which reminds me: the last time I checked the boss of BAA was an ex advertising man, like the twat who gets paid a million a year for failing to run the Royal Mail.
Angels and Ministers of Grace defend us!
