re Stansted
Telephoned Ryanair to find out whether they would be affected by fireman's strike next week. They said they had no information, and that I would have to telephone Stansted to find out whether Ryanair would be affected!
Stansted much more helpful. Confirmed that their firemen would not be on strike, and that the local brigades were largely "retained" firemen and would therefore also not be on strike.
Hope they are right!
