Major Tom at a loss

Was sitting on the tarmac at Alicante Airport in Spain yesterday, delayed by half an hour or so on an EasyJet flight back to London Stansted.

Huge apologies for the delay, our friendly pilot told passengers.

"For reasons best known to Ground Control in Luton", he added dryly, the inbound plane had to be swapped for another.

Nice to get some brutal honesty in such a PR-puffed world.
