Neville BoundsHOST
So that's something.
CarlosHOST
Uh, how about you, Andy? Anything exciting going on in the world, uh, for you, uh, next, next week or the weekend?
AndyPANELIST
Uh, just a lot of travel down to Gatwick on Sunday, back home on Monday, then off to Milan again next weekend.
CarlosHOST
Cor.
AndyPANELIST
Yes, Milan.
AndyPANELIST
I'm not in the Gatwick studio or the pub studio, so a new, uh, remote location, this one, for the podcast.
CarlosHOST
I've gotta say, Andy, that does look stunning behind you.
CarlosHOST
Is it actually a f... looks like a field behind you.
LydiaHOST
So I was very excited about that, so I said yes to it, and then of course I was out of the country and then there was all this hoo-ha and I wasn't even sure I was gonna be able to get home.
LydiaHOST
And then I managed to get home with no delays last night, and then got to the airport, Gatwick Airport, and there'd been an accident, car accident on the motorway just right outside the airport, so it actually took half an hour just to actually get from the car parking space out of the car park onto the motorway.
LydiaHOST
So then I didn't even really think I'd be able to get home because then there's all the traffic on the M25 in the rush hour.
LydiaHOST
So it was all pretty mental, but I'm very pleased to say the order did go out this morning and I have just delivered all of the foliage as well.
CalvinHOST
Bro- Planning, bro ...
CalvinHOST
I'll tell you this, right? What was fascinating was when I was leaving, um, Gatwick- Mm.
CalvinHOST
So I went, checked in, uh, and I was like, "Okay, cool," you know, go through duty-free and all of that kind of stuff, and I went to security.
CalvinHOST
Mm.
Tom BoonHOST
The numbers really make for grim reading.
Tom BoonHOST
Gatwick hit the maximum 5.0 on the disruption index with, and this is the part that stops you, 100% of track departures delayed and an average delay of 100 minutes and 39 cancellations.
Tom BoonHOST
Birmingham also scored 5.0 with an average delay of 107 minutes.
Tom BoonHOST
East Midlands, Luton, Belfast, Bristol leads Bradford, Edinburgh, Manchester, all of them well up the table as well.
Tom BoonHOST
Heathrow actually scored lower, 3.9, but because of the sheer volume, it was pushing towards 94 cancellations.
Tom BoonHOST
And, you know, when Heathrow wobbles, the ripple travels furthest.
Tom BoonHOST
EasyJet had departures completely halted at Gatwick, its largest base, and it accumulated more than 140 cancellations across a European network that was by then absorbing the problem too.
Tom BoonHOST
Now, the airline response was, let's say, unrestrained.
Esme BowdlerGUEST
I'm going to take my passport with me.
Esme BowdlerGUEST
If I get cut, I'm going to go straight to Gatwick and get on a flight.
Esme BowdlerGUEST
And I kept saying that to them.
Esme BowdlerGUEST
I kept being like, am I going to get cut? Because if so, I'm going to hop on a flight.
David VanceHOST
And actually, did you see also, by the way, never mind that, but I don't know if any of you guys have flown in the last couple of days, but all British airports basically came to a halt yesterday.
David VanceHOST
Pretty much all of them, Gatwick, Heathrow, Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow.
David VanceHOST
A software glitch, a mysterious software glitch, which grounded, you know, I think hundreds, if not certainly several hundreds of flights, caused massive problems.
David VanceHOST
And the guy in charge of that is on a cool, I think it's 1.3 million a year.
Abigail BrierleyHOST
Now we'll hear from Sophia Monacute on why her dog Dennis' needs take priority when choosing a new car.
Sophia Money-CouttsGUEST
The valet parking man at Gatwick climbed out of my car with an expression that suggested he'd just driven a Panzer at the Russian border, as opposed to bringing a very underpowered VW Polo around from the car park.
Sophia Money-CouttsGUEST
Madam, he began unsteadily, I need to have a word with you about the state of your car.
Sophia Money-CouttsGUEST
I apologised.
Greg MasdingPANELIST
I'm sure you'll be fine.
