Tedious, Ivor, very tedious!

Your point making shows some immaturity and perhaps a lack of understanding.

For me, I happily recall a return indulgence from Calgary in 1992 with 2 tired teens in company. Having arrived at check-in, we were informed that the flight was full with an Army move back to Germany from that Albertan Prairie place where they play tank battles. Desparate to get back to UK (and not wanting to pay full whack) we waited and waited while the Movers told us that they had never failed to get indulgees home! Eventually, the Tristar Captain informed us all (indulgees and troops alike) that he planned to make an unscheduled stop at Keflavik at 0300 to pick up gas so that he could guarantee getting all of us and our bags out & home via Hannover (to dump the Army off) before flying back to BZN.

So, I think the truckies are marvellous and pragmatic, sympathetic and damn fine chaps!! Let it be said!

What was the Rugby Score? Which is surely more to the point, Lossie guys!
