There was a bit of an end-of-term atmosphere at work today – which is going to make going in tomorrow feel like a real anti-climax. A major contributory factor was our xmas lunch in the canteen restaurant. Queueing up to get in there we noticed a picture of the incident at Prestwick where a Ryanair plane went off the end of the runway on the overhead TV screens. A terrible thing, but it led to, what was for me, the moment of the day.
We saw the picture of the plane, nose down in the snow, and were more than a little concerned. Was anyone hurt? we wondered. There is no sound on the TV feed on these screens, but Jim saw the banner text going across it and passed on the news “all passengers were removed safely”. While we were all breathing a sigh of relief he followed up with “but they’ll want their pound back!” and hilarity ensued.
I guess you had to be there, but it really tickeld me.
