WTF Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 10 minutes ago, Nellie said: but as the advert is identical it rather suggests a failure to recruit last time around. recruits have to pass the necessary exams after their training , the failure rate likely exceeds the success rate ( man in the pub etc etc ) 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've just made a case for more flights - which requires more visitors and more residents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinderella Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Airport heaving. Both London flights delayed for a couple of hours. Lots of people sitting on floor. Thinking of auctioning off chairs. Could raise funds for airport rebuild. Only the bar is happy (TGIF) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gatwick not delayed it’s Liverpool by 1.5 hours & city by 45 minutes, massive exaggeration again!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
