In desperation (or was it devilment

Shortly afterwards the airport Plods arrived with blue lights flashing as the GM scurried down the stairs to explain himself.
Class!
No chance of this happening at "Scottish" !
The GM is never in the ops room... too busy
Although there may be an ATSA strike when he tries to post them elsewhere !!
