No sympathy whatsoever, she tried to save a few quid, but wasn’t bright enough to realise the difference between rapid antigen (lateral flow) and a PCR test.
From the post that you quoted, but don't appear to have read:
Sally says: "On my arrival at the front of the queue, the ground staff said I was not allowed to board. I asked why and she said it needed the letters PCR. "And when I explained that this was a valid test, it even said exactly what PCR test it was, while it didn't say the letters P, C and R, I couldn't convince her, and myself and 30 other passengers were refused boarding for a variety of reasons that day."
