Peter Wee - take a long look around in the glaring light of the new recession - I think you'll find that this is more than just a rise in the cost of asparagus, and as I said, its not me saying "chicken little style" The Sky Is Falling - its Wee Willie Walsh. "Airlines are not built for $150 a barrel oil", to paraphrase. Extreme change will occur. Things are going to change more than people bargained for and I see extreme poverty ahead for many, not that that pleases me in any way at all.

Once again - good luck to all furloughed or laid-off in this third great oil shock.
