I cannot comment on the administrative background to the present
airport chaos, but I throw in this little story.

Just before Christmas 1979, the weather pattern was almost identical to
that at present with widespread fog.

You must be mistaken, Jack. A spokesman (for BAA?) on Radio 5 Breakfast
this
morning that the problems are due to dense fog - dense? - at Heathrow and
that it's unprecedented for it to last so long at this time of year. Of
course that means all the long-lasting freezing fogs that I remember
occurring at this time of year must also be a figment of my imagination.

Really? When was the last time we had fog that lasted four days solid
without lifting at all?
