I particularly like the "Are you planning on flying to or from Manchester Airport this evening? Could the possible fuel supply problem affect you?" web form

As a paying customer, why would I care about how an airport or airline runs?
I pay my hard earned cash for a service and the airline/airport staff are paid to look after the running.

Easy solution. Just get every passenger to bring 2 x 20L jerrycans filled with aviation fuel, check them in or use the new "Can-drop" facility, and hey presto, problem solved.

As Manchester is 'up North' the DM will either ignore it or run a story on the lines of 'Manchester has airport - SHOCK'

Don't we all keep plentiful stocks of aviation fuel in our outbuildings?
