The airline have now said they are not going to sue.

..It wouldn't be PC to sue the disadvantaged I reckon.

I linked this to the Asiana thread days ago...only two or three posts back even now

Sorry Garry I missed that, I thought this was the thread about the TV news error. I stopped reading the other thread when it became speculation about PFs and PNFs.

Good to hear the airline has come to their senses, thanks for the info Joe.

It's not that many years ago that the Test Match Special team got the administrators at one of the Test Matches to ask over the public address system for " Mr Hugh Jarce to go to the Secretary's office "

Brings back fond memories of winding sprogs up when alongside. Call the Quartermaster and ask him to pipe for RO Tate (RO being Radio Operator) or Seaman Stains or MEM Brain.. the list of legpulls being quite extensive as you can imagine. You were OK as long as the QM didn't know who'd made the request Needless to say.. it was frowned upon by the authorities but made the lower deck howl with laughter

When in my previous life we used to getb the new PC's to ring the London Zoo{just giving them the tel no] and ask for C Lyon or Miss G.Raffe. In the way we used to pronounce numbers we used to get them to rinhg tooting Nick and ask for 210 Carmen. If they in a good mood at the other end they would make them wait and when they finally got back they would say they couldn't find them but would they like to speak to his mummy. For all you who Know where the Youngs Brewery is situated we would get them to ring Wandsworth Nick and ask for D.I. Drated. Probably get disciplined nowadays for traumatising them.

How about filing a complaint over the phone and saying
I.R. Pist

In Jersey's terminal years ago when Aer Lingus had a flight 007 there was a repeated call for a Mr. J Bond on that flight to conatct the check in desk.

The usual at the first factory I worked for was to 'phone reception when there was a new girl and ask her to page Mike Hunt.
