England 2012 Discovery 4 3.0 SDV6 XS Auto Santorini BlackDiscovery 4

Arriving back at Birmingham airport after a flight of one hour and 45 minutes (itself two hours late) to then actually get through customs pretty quickly (for a change) to then stand and stare at an empty arrival hall but no baggage coming round the belt.......

A few challenges to the useless Censored standing around soon saw them scurry off and hide.

Challenging the 'lady' wearing the 'Swissport' branded shirt sitting under the 'Swissport' branded desk elicited Censored all regards a meaningful response. When a few other people headed in her direction she picked up the phone and pretended to be talking on it.

According to her she knew nothing about it, it was 'Swissport' we needed to talk to and she couldn't help Twisted Evil The pointing out of what she was wearing and where she was sitting just got the blank stare of a retard in 'response'

Looked them up and called them direct whil in arrivals hall waiting. Just as useless but they'd "look into it" and get back to me via tannoy message.

Gave the telephone number to others waiting so they could also 'remind them they were their to help us' and also looked up Birmingham airport 'help line' (one of life's eternal oxymoron's Rolling Eyes ) and got onto them as well.

After one hour and six minutes I noticed that another plane had landed yet the passengers were not picking any luggage off the carousel - mosied over and.............it was ours, had been there about five minutes by then.

Useless Censored Absolute disgrace at that airport - second city? Pah, third-world performance more like. Happens every time.

Four hours later I get texts saying they'd found the problem; short staffed (surely that plane being two hours late was required on a quick turnaround and would have been 'managed' or prioritised somehow - they weren't having a load of flights arriving?) and then "unfortunately" luggage was then loaded to wrong conveyor and had been there all the time (it wasn't, lying Censored )

I'll be trying East Midlands airport next time as I reckon plane-to-front-door time will be quicker if they can get luggage off in less than 30 minutes Confused

All the times I travel to Europe on business trips, even if I have a carry-on bag I usually stick it in the hold as it's always there on the baggage carousel waiting for me when I've come through customs (and generally no delays there either).

Birmingham bidding for the 2022 Commonwealth Games will be a disaster if relying on this bunch of idiots to get people in and out of the country..... Rolling Eyes

DYR 500010.

Must be in the top ten list of LR cash cows. Tried to refit the front tow eye cover. 4 of them failed on me right on the spot as i had not cleaned off the remains of one of the former ones, i had to take the cover off again.

So, remember: When you have to tow, collect at least 10 quid because you need 7 of those on the front, 2 on the rear cover replaced.

Man.

Should have been mentioned in the manual they twisters are one-time only Censored

Getting up at 6am. Driving forever to get to site in loads of traffic and roadworks to wait for 3 hours for the materials to show up only for the supplier to tell me on the 3rd compliant “they weren’t in stock sorry” when they were ordered last week. Censored Censored Censored should have stayed home and carried on fixing lemon. Absolutely raging. And if one more person says “can you do me a favour mate” on site today I’m going to kick off.

Hotels, that provide a 200 metre steep path up from the beach, with signage saying “Hotel open for non residents” Only to be met with a “No dogs allowed” sign when you’ve worked up a sweat climbing the path to get a beer. 😡
