Thanks sukigirl, i understand exactly what you are saying.
I would never normally want to use my mobile once on the plane, but just before boarding, everything was on time-which i texted to my friend, then as soon as we had sat down, a 1 hour delay was announced. And i just knew there was no way she would have a reason to check for delays by then and was probably about to leave... Anyway i guess its just one of those things that happen sometimes, i should be grateful the FA was alert and doing her job and we all got home safely, regardless of a parking bill!
