Narrow Squeak

Last Friday Pat returned from a week at Candy’s - thanks to the help she received from BAA and RyanAir staff at Stansted and their willingness to bend the rules. Now there’s a comment not often seen on this blog - or anywhere else for that matter. Her train to Stansted was twenty minutes late arriving at March. This was stressful but not fatal - it would still leave fifty minutes to get through Security and to the Gate. Unfortunately once the train reached Cambridge it was held up outside the station for forty minutes, meaning she arrived at Stansted an hour late with only twenty minutes to get from the platform to the plane. When she arrived at Security she asked an official if there was any point in trying to catch the plane. He immediately whisked her to the front of the queue. However, by the time she got to the Gate all the passengers had boarded  and the RyanAir staff  were preparing to leave. ‘I suppose I’m too late to board?’ asked a disconsolate Pat. But to her amazement, after a brief consultation, they waved her through.
