Trunki!  Thumbs:

Sounds like something from Ikea to me - prolly a set of knife holders or summat . . .
"Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end." 

Well, someone had to say it!

If memory serves,  it was not a long bus journey - a minute or so. Hardly a long walk :P

It was 2010 so maybe all better now.  Very embarrassing though as I was flying in from Edinburgh with senior guy from USA and we had to go play hunt the car rental.  Seems Avis were refusing to pay an increased access fee for their discourtesy buses.

I have to say I have used EM dozens of times over the years and apart from the time the renovations were being partaking never had a problem... Shrugs:

But you live there.  You try arriving with VIP guest to pick up Avis rental car to drive to near Lincoln for meeting.  Jeez were we late.
Well, whatever, nevermind

I'm definitely in the wrong job. All I hear is:-

1) We can only do 1 plane at a time and we'll do it at our own speed
2) I'm not rushing
3) The plane goes when the plane goes
4) It's only bags.

And more.

It's not "only bags", it's people's possessions, it can be the difference between a good and a bad holiday and - at this time of night - all you want to do, as a passenger, is get your bags and go home.

The majority of people I work with have always worked at Gatwick and it is their life. But they are lazy bastards and the first to whinge when they are delayed due to the prevalent laziness.
