Cornish Jack: "...depending on when you might have arrived at Thorney, the catering prospects could have been Country Club De-luxe ('50s) or NAAFI controlled awfulness ('60s)."
Captain Speaking: "No problem, we'll be with you in about 20 minutes, pax one-eighty, and we'd like to order 100 litres bottled water [thinks: our legal department wouldn't like the pax dehydrated...] and 200 paper cups, err... and could we have 10 packets digestive biscuits, please? ...No, ten: one-zero. ...Thanks, see you on the ground." [thinks: that should keep the punters happy for five or six hours, and the bean-counters won't even notice.] "Hoskins! Got that Thorney chart yet? And did you get their actual? Veronique, can you put that spare club-meal in the oven?"
