Neat
Saturday 6th January
Good to see they’re handling the Bristol Airport thing well…
A spokeswoman for Easyjet said: “We are operating 60% of the Bristol operation out of Cardiff but we are suffering delays of around three hours because passengers need to check in at Bristol first.
“We need to get the message out that travellers need to check in at Bristol first of all because people are turning up at Cardiff directly.”
What kind of idiot thinks they should go to the airport they’re flying from to check in, rather than a different airport 45 miles away? Gosh, some people!
Invention

Bristol Airport invents new ‘negative friction’ material.
“I’ve landed in wet weather, put the brakes on and come to the bit that is being re-surfaced, and just skated across it - we actually speeded up. When it is wet, you have no grip.”
Now, either Bristol Airport is built on a steep hill (unlikely), or someone is exaggerating. See the story here.
I am happy to have my opinion on this story swayed.
