Going Home (Theme From Local Hero)*

12 April 2010
The aeroplane flying from England to Japan was delayed by strong headwinds but as these would be tailwinds for us we shouldn’t have had much delay on the way home except that the luggage was loaded incorrectly in the hold which, with the other delay, meant we were two hours late taking off. We think British Airways are saving money by flying planes that should have been retired years ago – this one creaked and rattled and the entertainment system constantly malfunctioned (G only managed to see on quarter of the Coen brothers’ film ‘Serious Man’). However we have to say that the cabin crew did a wonderful job and, once again, were totally professional despite their life being made hell by BA management. A great big ‘thank you’ to them all but especially Sebastian.
