I love this story. This is the kind of stuff that happens daily in Small Business — but the problems of Small Businesses don’t get the publicity that this does. So don’t feel too bad if you published the wrong effective date or forgot to include a specific instruction in your last bulletin to the field.
Chaos at airport after clocks fault
Flight times are being advertised an hour late because a computer failed to recognize the clocks going back.
Arrival and departure times at Gatwick airport are being published incorrectly on Teletext, Ceefax, the Gatwick website and within the airport itself.
Not every flight is affected. Airport operator BAA said it was mainly domestic flights and some European flights.
advertisementSpokesman Stuart McDonald said staff were working hard to put the fault right as soon as possible.
He said: “It was noticed at 6am. They have been working on it all day.”
