It took me just over 5 hours to get home last night (the journey usually takes less than an hour). On this occassion, however, I didnt think that I could have got home quicker if I had flown!
In our office we were trying to see who were the worst affected by it all - and I thought my "five hour" journey would have been it - but a colleague took eight hours to get home, and and another four people gave up and stayed in B&Bs and hotels for the night.
Excellent work by all those pilots who managed to get those big birds down on the ground safely - the news footage showed that it was really very challenging indeed. I will never moan about a crosswind again.
