Free sheets and Spurs fan cabbies.

Newspaper was pants dramatic picture of crashlanding belies the fact that Stansteds only involvement in the drama was that it was the poor jets eventual planned destination. Oh and wheelie bins are being rolled out to a mixed reception locally. Holiday fly parking is a major issue. Spose given the cost of airport parking its an issue. I get cheesed off enough with our jewish fly parkers and the tennis club lot.
A local cabbie pulls up and engages me in conversation. He recognise the faint trace of scouse in my accent once he has ascertained I am a bluenose and not a redshite. He was clearly a xenophobe as he commented a place built by poles owned by indians that won't employ English is clearly doomed to fail. I wonder about pointing out that average non academic local is probably in the army or too bevied to work hard but err on the side of cautiopn. He is appalled by the price the fact that breakfast was an optional extra and not even the full english. Shocking or what! It was spectacularly crap I have to say.
It would be a perfect morning suns up light breeze recliner but some git is doing the weeds with a petrol driven strimmer. This holiday feels good already.
