well , 'the truth is': EZY, they came, they talked, they wined, they dined, they went back to LUT with 1 F/O. Fair enough. They may find however that the enthusiasm displayed next time they come to town is somewhat tepid. No big deal but just as LGW is of more commercial importance to EZY, NI is more important to its local crew.
You'll always get plenty of takers for a free meal at the Hilton. Won't be quite so easy to get them down to LUT though. Now I'm off to my local pub.
