No lines and the machines (for UK, EU, US, AU) all worked a dream. Took less than a minute! Maybe works better when the managers are coming in to cover!

Not sure that is going to happen this time That's been mentioned in the papers but I've never seen them yet. It's always been managers or non union staff manning the counters in my experience of passing through on strike days (there's been a few!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
