    Good to see the producers of invisible ink are still hard at work in these tough times!

      Seems to be worse than ever at the moment which is odd when you'd think that people would have more time to read threads before putting finger to keyboard.

      Where are you flying. You might be eligible for EU261 compensation https://www.dropbox.com/s/w6hmpy5ysxpck6k/Vauban's Guide to Claiming Flight Delay Compensation.pdf?dl=0

      Peter, are you by any chance flying AirTransat from Glasgow? Happened to us a few years ago but only just under 5 hours late.

      As above you should be able to claim compo of about 600 Euros per person for the delay due to the length of delay, the flight distance and the fact that you are flying from an airport within the EU. Good luck!

      Of course, this does assume that he wouldn't expect somebody else to pay for it.

    Are winklepickers making a comeback in the UK? I've just seen two guys wearing them on platform 8 at Glasgow Queen Street.

      Pete, what kind of trains are in the platform? I’m just making sure your flight over didn’t go through a rip in time and take you to 1961 instead...
