Some major problem there. There is a computer problem. Now they need to put in flight plans manually, which is slower and causes delays and cancelled flights.
They don’t know what caused it, they don’t know how to fix it, they don’t know how long this might last.
Welcome to a British August Bank Holiday weekend! It’s probably raining too.
(I’m a Brit. It’s not rude or unkind when it’s self deprecating 
)
To be fair, sunny skies and a light breeze in my corner of Essex. Doesn’t feel like a bank holiday Monday. Oh wait, major disruption and people can’t back for work tomorrow, yeah now it feels normal.
They solved it!
British sense of humour - miss it so much. Keep em coming.
Didn’t know you are a fan @ElsieDownie; do you know About — Very British Problems
