I wonder how Cojak got on at Gatwick.
Actually, I wonder if Cojak got on at Gatwick.
Snow at Heathrow and Gatwick ruins plans of thousands
Thousands were stuck there overnight and few flights will depart on Sunday. Hundreds more slept at Gatwick, as knock-on delays hit most UK airports.
But airports were worst hit, on a weekend when travel association Abta said hundreds of thousands of Britons were due to fly.
The BBC has received hundreds of e-mails from stranded passengers, with many saying they have no idea where they will be spending Christmas.
BA said "several thousand" of its stranded passengers were being put up in hotels but when asked if the company was confident of getting everyone to their festive destinations, a spokeswoman said: "We are in the hands of the weather."
At Gatwick, 90,000 people should fly out on Sunday but 50 fights are cancelled.
A Gatwick spokeswoman said it was doing everything it could to "get passengers on their way" but advised them to check with airlines before setting out.
Monarch Airlines managing director Tim Jeans said reassessment of the UK's transport capabilities was needed. "We have not coped well. The infrastructure - not just at the airports but the road infrastructure - completely seized up. The M25 going towards Heathrow and Gatwick virtually impassable within an hour of the snow starting to fall."My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.Comment

My mum is in Australia, my dad is at my sisters and the out-laws have other plans. Have the doings in for a nice Christmas dinner and (if necessary) I can purchase the necessary 'cheer' from the corner shop. Could be worse.+50 Xeno Geek Points
