iiiiDougiiii (doug@zing.icom43.net) gurgled happily, sounding much like
they were saying :

>>> Cunt! Don't you know anything?

They don't.

Shall we play Spot-the-Difference? There's three differences to find...

1. easy.com
2. easyJET.com

"EasyGroup own EasyJet"
No, they don't - EasyJet are stockmarket listed, and the owner (and his
immediate family) of EasyGroup owns about 40%% of EasyJet. EasyGroup
licence the Easy brand to EasyJet.
"Silly semantics!"

By supergluing shut a couple of travel agent door locks and the offices
of a holding company...? Don't be ridiculous.

Ever heard of the internet? THAT's how most short-haul tickets are sold.
