An 80 year old friend insisted on a journey from Madrid to Exeter via Bristol airport, arriving in Exeter at 4 am today. A taxi was booked for her, but she needed to get to it across the road.

Yes, I know that is what should happen - but well done to the often maligned bus station staff for looking after her so well.
