Flying into the eye of the storm

Beginning to wonder if I spoke too soon, defending Britain's reputation last Wednesday. I was due to fly into Heathrow next Wednesday, but those helpful chaps at the UK Border Agency have decided to take a day off to make a point about keeping their gold plated pensions, a decision that is predicted to cause widespread chaos.

I have re-arranged my schedule to fly via Seattle but it takes a lot longer. I will have to take another two days off work. Thanks officers at UKBA. I wish you a long and prosperous retirement.
