Today, Matthew... I will be mostly arguing the point with "Easyjet" staff that my camera bag really does only weight ten kilos and that the scales they've used to weight it are VERY broken!.. Lets think about that name for a second - "Easyjet" ... Sorry, can anyone spot the irony?...
Easy : not hard, to make not difficult, to assist, to make...easy!
Jet: ...uh, a plane
Maybe, just maybe, they should have considered calling the company "Bloody stupid rules Jet" or.. "We really couldn't give a toss, just give us your money and yes, we're going to fly from the most remote parts of England to random places...Jet" ... Quite frankly, I'd pay an extra £100 just to fly from Heathrow and catch "normal hours" type flights...

Dear Simon
Thank you for entering your work into the above competition. The judges have now made their final decision and I am sorry to inform you that your work was not selected for exhibition. This year, there were over 6,700 entries with only 60 selected for exhibition so competition was extremely strong.
Any surprises? Not really.. err, no...
