Bailiffs are sent...to Heathrow!

This sounds a bit barmy...but funny none-the-less.

A direct extract from page 8 of the Daily Express (10/07/06)

____________________________________________________________ ____

"An incensed airline passenger who took Heathrow Airport to court after he missed a flight won an order to send bailiffs into the airport to recover goods to a value of £332 - his fare and other costs.

But security around the airport is so tight that the bailiffs have so far been unable to gain entry to carry out the job.

For six months Paul Raymond, 52, has tried to claim back the cost of a flight from Heathrow to Newcastle after he was delayed by stringent security checks at the airport.

"It's so frustrating, it just makes me sick" said Mr Raymond, of Sunderland, who now fears he may never see the money again.

"The Bailiff said he thought they were trying to pull a fast one, knowing they could hide behind security. What am I supposed to do when even the bailiffs can't get in?"

The British Airports Authority said last night that they were looking into the matter"

All I can say about one man's fight to take down the big guys at Heathrow is good luck...he'll bl dy well need it!
