Nice try!

While overhearing the pilot apologising for being late, the girl at the check-in desks announces: 'Aer Arann apologises for the delay of flight RE401 to Birmingham. Due to technical problems this flight will now board in 10 minutes'.

Technical problems me arse!

Nice try though.... everybody bought it, except for this Dutch eejit standing at the top of the queue.

Will try BMIBaby on the way home; let's see if they're better at time keeping.

Unless we need to stay over here for another night obviously.

Eitherway, greetings from sunny Birmingham!
