the regulator warned the suppliers about excessively overcharging so I suspect many of the suppliers are backing off pushing this agenda at least until they hear what the government announces

Quoting a crazy high price for an airport job you really don't want.

And they accept it. :-k

People who irreverently refer
to King Charles as “ Charlie boy”

People who chuck flowers at a passing funeral cortège, when they have been specifically asked not to.

People who have bought a bunch of flowers for a fiver from Aldi/ Lidl and have then thrown them onto a compost heap.

People who think that “northerners” are a breed apart, even though we are.

Punters letting their little brats walk all over the seats.

People not putting their seatbelts on when they get in the back.

And then ask why the car's sounding an alarm as we pull off.

FFS it's been illegal since 1991 not to wear a seat belt in the back. ](*,)

we used to have one that did that half of my drivers refused to ever pick him up but he was so old and doddery that he couldn't understand when he was refused service so I used to sometimes have to come out when I was in the office to just to pick him up

Planes that land early and then keep the passengers on board for 2 hours until they have steps available.

i had something similar at Gatwick once but on that occasion the plane landed 04.30 however the baggage handlers did not start work until 06.00 so everybody had to wait for the baggage handlers to start their shift ](*,)
