I've driven past Rouen a few times without any trouble. 

But that was in the olden days when you looked at a map and followed the signs.   

That'll never catch on either

This was in those golden days too. Problem was, it was a 3 car convoy. One guy had the map, another had a clue where we were going, and I was bringing up the rear with the mobile phone (and the smallest fuel tank, irritatingly, on Sunday, in France, where they didn't take UK chip&pin cards at that time).

Ah, you too

Yep, it's real fun with a 25 litre tank and a pair of 45DCOEs.

I ended up having to wait for a local to come along and then bribe him to fill my car up on his card in exchange for cash every 120 miles.

Sounds like operator error to me: you're clearly not intended to tour in a car meant as a toy for blatting about on a Sunday afternoon

Where's the fun in that?

I work across the road from the Caterham showroom and they taunt me with their weekend rental for 200 notes.  I wonder if 'fair wear and tear' is included in the tyres likely state when I will give it back

Terrorist's dream come true. Bring the country to a halt with a few drones.

Just seen.  Missus is supposed to be working tomorrow, that could be interesting.

Home standby

If it's closed for too long I can see the sandal wearing ecomentalists setting up camp on the runways... They have enough trouble keeping them away overnight.

Intervening time since Gatwick spent looking for a suitable point to project the hologram ( or fly a drone if you like)


Then in a few  weeks time we will have same at Stanstead.

Flights resumed so we presume the hologram was shot down by Heathrows defence technology.

They might be too busy on drone charging detail tonight...

All the idiots will be getting in on this, exactly what I expected, who actually requires a drone ?  Get a plane down then perhaps something will be done about these tools.

I'm at a loss to imagine what can be "done". You can make/buy an autonomous flying machine that can cause this sort of disruption for buttons and, once it's flying, there's little that can be done to stop it. Little that you'd risk doing airside at an airport, at any rate. The concept has been proven, the genie is out of the bottle and putting it back in is going to be quite a challenge.

You don't actually 'require' nipples, yet you have two...

Go figure
