+=+ I have it in hand with Anna already.
       Flight as far as London was excellent. My flight from
London to Manchester was delayed because immigration
authorities refused to allow someone transferringfrom Helsinki
to join the plane and his bag had to be found in the hold. That
delay lost us our takeoff slot so we queued behind fifteen or
sixteen flights for use of the runway. In turn that meant we had
lost our landing slot in Manchester, so we stooged around in
a stack for a while. I got to bed in the end almost exactly 24
hours after leaving the hotel in Shanghai.
  .... special luv...                        ~ Grattan ~     +=+
