I was flying home from Brisbane this afternoon and my flight was well over 25 minutes late departing.

The First Officer apologised for the delay in a frustrated tone over the PA system and told us that the delay was caused by someone changing the cleaning crew’s roster but not telling anyone. The truth of the matter he announced to all the passengers, was that “The people running this airport wouldn’t even be capable of organising a chook raffle!”

When things go wrong, you might as well say it like it is!
