Inspector Sands? Let’s shout at the staff…

When I got to St Pancras today as I got off the train and was heading up the stairs the infamous inspector sands was called to the operations room. So TFL staff stopped anyone else entering the station, and about 15 minutes later, we got the evacuation alarm.

I could not believe how rude and nasty some of the fellow passengers were to the staff. People threatening to sue being delayed and just downright abusive, even after being told there was a fire alert being investigated!

Do people want to go into a potentially burning tube station? I will say most people are fine and understanding, but I just couldn’t believe what I was seeing and hearing!

[Request] Cabin Pressure BBC Radio Comedy question...

Cabin pressure is a very funny BBC Radio Comedy series (and yes that is Benedict Cumberbatch). The basic premise is that in a divorce, Carolyn gets her ex-husband's business jet and runs a charter airline. The ex keeps wanting to buy it back as we find out in the last episode (and stop reading here if you don't want spoilers....)

That the wiring of the plane is made of solid gold.

Now the plane is fictional (a Lockheed McDonnell 3-12) but it's close to the size of a McDonnell 320. With the plane has 16 seats.

So the math questions....

How much gold would be in the plane if all the wiring was gold wire instead of copper?

What would it be worth? (As the ex husband character offered 250,000 UK Pounds for it at one point). As the Gold would have likely been in the United Kingdom, he would have to turned gold bars into wire, coated the wire with some plastic suitable for an airline and have paid some people to rewire the entire plane do the job would it have been worth it?

How much extra fuel as a percentage would it take to fly a plane with gold wiring? If it could have flown at all?

Delta DL54 returned to Atlanta after eight hours in the air and a U-turn over the middle of the Atlantic

Imagine taking an 8 hour flight only to land where you originally took off from.

Something in every drawer.

I always follow Arthur's advice and put something in every drawer when staying in a hotel to make it feel like home.
