It’s happened again. Stuck on an empty plane at Heathrow airport long after everyone else is off - ‘no staff to get my wheelchair off the plane’. I am SO disappointed with @HeathrowAirport as disabled passengers are once again apparently the lowest priority.

Love this, brilliantly told.
In other news, maybe it’s because I dated before the dawn of time or because I’m ‘exploring’ Polyamory with @sarah_shebbeare for next week’s Positive Thinking on @BBCRadio4, but the opening to @MattRudd ‘s S.Times column made me roar with laughter.
