Further to my last post about Steve Ridgway I have found a far more important honour being awarded.

John Grey, 80, a shoeshiner for Virgin Atlantic airline customers at the Heathrow Ch has been awarded an MBE - thats impressive!!

Congratulations John, I am sure he is well thought of by many V-flyers.

Yes congratulations John. Jolly good stuff.

There's a plane at JFK, to fly you back from far away
all those dark and frantic transatlantic miles

Thanks for that but this is already under discussion in the "News Bites" sections so I'll lock the thread and encourage further discussion to be appended there.
