Not leaving so fast…

Okay, so when I last logged off we were on our way to the airport under beautiful sunny skies. We arrived no problem, we check in no problem, we wait for our boarding time with only 10 minutes to go before the gate opens and guess what? Yes, problem! We notice that there seems to be a distinct lack of BA staff. To such an extent that on one has even turned up to open said gate. A quick check of the info board and suddenly our departure time has morphed from 1845 to 2045 with absolutely no reason. I guess one way to avoid having to deal with upset passengers is not to put any staff at the gate! I go online to check the BA website and there is still nothing to tell me why we’er still sitting in Rome instead of being in he air on the way back to the UK. So, we have survived the snow, slush and ice only to be tripped up at the last hurdle by God knows what.
