We need a visa. To get a visa, we need a police certificate from Australia. For that, we need to send them fingerprints. So we post, pay extra for tracking and... it gets stuck in the Langley distribution depot for weeks. Cmon, @RoyalMail, you're supposed to be the reliable bit!
I hate easyJet. After "delaying" my flight for a day (very definite about it not being cancelled), and an eJ employee implying the delay was the fault of the passengers, the replacement flight is also delayed. We have no gate info. How to f*** up your bank holiday? Fly @easyJet
