In Barcelona at the moment. Been a bit of a mad day
I’ll bet. The centre must have gridlocked. Came back on about an hour ago here. That’s a 9 hour full country black out. People were already buying the toilet roll. Started getting flashbacks.
No traffic lights were working. Portuguese drivers are hardly the most careful at the best of times. Was complete chaos.
I reckon another 2 days and the government would have to initiate curfews and rationing. Mad how close we are to societal collapse.
 
…my Liverpool flights to Antalya must be cursed. A few years ago we took off only to have a bird strike, got to the Channel before diverting to Manchester. Arrived in Turkey 6 hours late.

This morning took off on time at 07.00am, Mrs Eggs , our son his wife and 3 young daughters. Everything fine, a few G&Ts before a woman sitting near the back tried to light a ciggy. Stewardesses ran to her, she was absolutely smashed and high by the looks of it. Those sitting near her moved, she wouldn’t calm so we had to divert to Budapest where her & her chap,were taken away by the local police..

At the hotel now, 2m hours late. Havana 7 on the AI, bar & buffet before an early night.

Don't know why people can't just control themselves for a few hrs. Recently on a flight back from Portugal and 3 men in their 50's told they can't have anymore drink cos they'd been caught smoking in airport toilets. Spent the whole time roaring about how they're never flying easyjet again.

Similar happened to us a few years ago, we only got as far as Stansted where we got rid of a woman also smashed who continued to drink her own vodka from the duty free. On her way off she shouted to her husband/partner ( who was continuing on his journey ) "I will see you tomorrow", only to be told by the flight attendant "no chance - your banned from the airline now". Husband, who was seated by us. just shrugged his shoulders.

It’s all about the people. I remember a flight to St Lucia a few years ago. There was a mob of Irish lads on there who were yacht crew, flying out to pick up a boat and sail her back.

They were hammered before they got on board, they drank the aircraft dry and then put out a request to the crew to give up their own duty free.

They were Singing and dancing in the aisles the entire way, dancing with the crew and singing with all the passengers and all without a single nasty incident.

They even managed to walk off the plane unaided.

Honestly, that sounds horrendous to me. I don't want to have a flight with people singing and dancing the entire way. I didn't book Butlins Airlines.

Alcohol is the issue. If you stop alcohol you'll prevent 99.9% of problems on planes.
