Thwok speaks the truth.
And damn right they should demand payment up-front too.
It's only the same as if I were to fill up at an Esso garage and tell the bird in the kiosk to 'put it on my card'.
I don't have an Esso card.
But then I think the CCTV footage of a Jet2 drive-off at LGW would be amusing. I think the big 'Jet2' lettering would give it away.

I am an admin on a cricket forum site, and we require links to back up rumours - that way every statement is backed up with a source.
Jet2 are in profit, and should be in no danger at all with profits of £30million, so I would like to read who says different.

Nah.
Just jettison a load of staff, or force them to take unpaid holiday, and it's problem solved.
Then simply re-employ them all for less money the following summer, so you can still afford to haul the great unwashed to Marbella for 1p return.

JB007, I totally agree. The fountain has the most amazing fish and chips that side of Hadrians wall (up here we have a few that are so much nicer. Come do some night cargo and ask for alba d'oro)
As to the rumour that jet2 are paying cash for fuel at LGW, then i hope they give me a big brown envelope as i report later this month, cause with the credit crisis, my barclay card won't take the pounding of several grand, even if i do hold a quick whip around with the pax to top up the cash.
Oh i've heard BA are paying for their fuel at hong kong with flower petals. The bloke at costa coffee told me.
Totally untrue, but why let the truth with no backing get in the way of a good rumour.

Top 3 chip shops in the UK for you...
1. Steele's Corner House, Cleethorpes.
2. The Jolly Fryer, Ripon.
3. There isn't a third.
Murgatroyd's? Pah!
Nonsense, my man. Nonsense.
Try Steele's before you knock it. Potatoes from Lincs, fish from Grimsby. All on the doorstep. Amazing.

Murgatroyd's are style over substance in my book, the Tutt and Chive pub at the bottom of the hill had bigger better fish, fresher Tartare sauce and friendlier folk(until the friendlier folk ran off with all the pubs cash)
Question...why is it so hard to get a real Kebab in the North ie lots of meat topped with veg IN a pitta bread, as opposed to getting a tray of meat with some veg in the corner then topped with a pitta bread in a toxic tray?
ps after visiting Lytham St Annes i can confirm as a poncy southener that Lancashire's fish and chips are the best. But all beat anything that gets shoved in your face near Hadrians wall.

One would hope that would be the case but my bank made £10 Billion last year and I've just had to lend them £400 Billion.

Murgatroyd's for sure.Huge quantities are prepared but fantastic quality control.Lancashire name and made in Yorkshire.Fish so white you need to wear shades.
I remember a few years ago reading that somebody,pilots I think,they used to zip up to Bryans at Headingley from the airport and fly the fish and chips back to London.
Well at least I got the thread back onto aviation.
Flying fish I suppose.

Bryan's is awful though, innit? The most sorry looking pathetic fish fillets I've ever seen. They're always really flat too, like they've been smashed with a rolling pin to make them look bigger.
And the price! Ridiculous.
In short Bryan - f*ck off, son.
Brett's in Headingley has gone downhill, but it still cacks on Bryan's.

For that neck of the woods I've got to agree with the Fountain, Harry Murgs is OK if you're eating in with the pensioners, but for taking away you've got to cross the road. The big place at White Cross is still worth a trip now and again, can't beat HQ.
