Yes CP, all apart from my last flight on Sunday night which incurred a 5 1/2 hr tech delay and lead to us exercising 1 hr 58 mins discretion before leaving the UK (2hrs is the limit!!). Two aborted engine starts due to no APU and a ground air start machine not providing enough puff..... Cabin temperature rising to boiling point (yeah, both literally and metaphorically!). All handled in my best apologetic manner with a quick warning not to take it out on the cabin crew whose fault it certainly was not!! Left the house at two in the afternoon, climbed into by bed at 06:30 the following morning.
