I recently flew from Bournemouth Airport and was extremely impressed with all the improvements.
However, I do have a couple of reservations – no pun intended.
At the espresso cafe there was a fine selection of croissants and pastries.
Me: “A double espresso and a pain au chocolat please.”
Server: “We haven't got that one"
Me (pointing to a pain au chocolat) “What’s that then?”
Server: “That’s a chocolate one”
Me: “Ok I’ll have that.”
At departures: Security: “Those shoes will have to come off.”
Me: “ok.”
Security: “Do they slip on and off easily?”
Me: “Well, I have got a bad back.”
Security: “Oh that’s ok then, don’t bother.”
This is obviously all part of dastardly a plot to make older people feel even more confused than they do already.
