Please forgive me as I let out the odd cruel chuckle...but the past few days of travel chaos have reminded me of the many happy years spent trying to placate would be travellers in such situations.
When people bemoan a lack of information, what more information could they need other than the 'Airport is closed', or 'Rail Services are severely disrupted'. Is it just me, or does the selfishness of people know no bounds in todays modern society. After all, it wasn't so very long ago that you'd be happy spending hours on end travelling a few miles up the road by horse and cart!!
I ask you, do we all need to try an simplify things a bit? Let's spare a thought for the people who work in the various sectors of the transport industry who are being verbally abused because of the weather. If any one of them could control the weather...well...they would hardly be sitting behind a check-in desk or standing on a railway platform would they! They too are human beings with feelings, needs, expectations and aspirations so cut them some slack, and try relaxing!
If you are heading off this Christmas the entire Jeremy Spake.com Team wish you the best of luck...and don't forget to pack some humility and compassion in those suitcases!
