Your post was excellent until that last paragraph of loony tunes. Reassuringly expensive? That reminds me of another infamous remark 'Oh, what a lovely war!' or perhaps something like in the bad old days at Cork when the only folk flying to Heathrow on EI were Cork's elite whom we shall describe for brevity as the sheepskin coat brigade along with local Aer Lingus and Aer Rianta staffers on jollies heading off halfway around the world on near freebies being paid for by taxpayers on quite modest incomes being taxed to the hilt at high rates.
To hell with the days of reassuringly expensive air fares.
