As Tenerife battens down in expectation of a huge storm tonight, many people have been stranded in the north airport for 6 hours or more already.  They are as likely to fly out tonight as Rudolph the red nosed reindeer is to win at next year’s Crufts.

Those big hearted softies at the travel agencies have been handing out dinner vouchers worth a whopping €6 to those who will be spending the night on the tiles, (as in the floor of the airport tiles).

Let’s see, €6. Mmm. The choice is killing me.  A packet of papaps fritas and a small bottle of water? Or I could club together with my mates and maybe get a slap up, single burger with cheese and chips to share.

Come in, Scrooge all is forgiven.
