Jackanory
Used to work at Luton Airport, where we had an undermanager we called Jackanory. The guy was unbelievable (no, he really was unbelievable).
Amongst his "life experiences" were tales of climbing Everest (he was incredibly short & fat, got out of breath & sweaty on a short walk). He'd driven a modified Landrover across the seabed between two of the Orkney Islands. He'd shagged pretty much every supermodel/filmstar/popstar you've ever heard of.
At the time I had a Kawasaki GT750 (their first shaft driven 750), well he'd owned the previous model (which clearly had never existed).
The saddest thing was that he clearly either believed it all, or genuinely thought we'd all believe it & love him more.
Of course, being the shallow & uncaring twats we all were, we'd all start singing the Jackanory music whenever he walked in.

Never mind him,
the people who run Luton Airport believe it's in London.

I can't wait until London stretches from Land's End to John o'Groats

HS2 is the next step

Well,
everyone who doesn't live in London or the South East seems to complain constantly about the north/south divide.
Once London has assimilated everything, and we're all from the South East, (and thus we all talk properly,) it'll be great.

You'd think the people deciding where planes should land
would have at least a basic grasp of geography.
