mayhem at bristol airport ( the victor meldrew column)

[panto andy]

back to the transport theme once again this time its the turn of the aircraft.

as reliably reported in sky news BA connect, easyjet, thomfly ,and first choice to name but a few of the 10 operators refusing to take flights in to and out of bristol

in wet conditions due a slippery runway which had just recently been resurfaced.

who did the resurfacing a gang of irish gypsies?.

the pandemonium will go well into next week said one airport source and passengers are being bussed to cardiff to fly from there.

but no word yet about who the contractors were or when they,ll be back assuming

that they are coming back to fix the problem or will it be a case of sorry you can,t fly

from bristol sir its raining.

will pilots watch sky news weather to make its not going to rain in bristol and if it does make a dash for cardiff or will it be like trent bridge when they put raincovers on the runways at bristol and put up the closed signs.

sorry no flights rain stops play Victor.
