Why the appology on here over not being able to offer a cup of tea? Is such a public apology necessary?

Presumably your post is meant to be sarcastic, and critising the pilot for landing with PPR (and presumably departing again before anyone was at the airfield).

If that's the case, then before getting too upset, you might consider that the pilot might also have thought that the weather was a little sporting and might have pushed their luck too far, and just wanted to get back on the ground. Any port in a storm.

If that were to happen to me, and then the weather cleared up later, I don't think I'd be waiting around for an unknown length of time (presumably days) before somebody turned up, just to say thanks and sorry for the intrusion.

Sure (if this is the case) their planning might have been better, they might have made an earlier decision to divert, but better land on a runway, than run into the ground by continuing the flight in poor conditions.
