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.

| That’s not bad | That’s good | That’s poor |
| That is a very brave proposal | You are insane | He thinks I have courage |
| Quite good | A bit disappointing | Quite good |
| I would suggest | Do it or be prepared to justify yourself | Think about the idea, but do what you like |

| I was a bit disappointed that | I am annoyed that | It doesn’t really matter |
| Very interesting | That is clearly nonsense | They are impressed |
| I’ll bear it in mind | I’ve forgotten it already | They will probably do it |
| I’m sure it’s my fault | It’s your fault | Why do they think it was their fault? |
