Burnt toast closes Prestwick Airport three times in a month
21.11.09
Prestwick Airport has been evacuated three times in a month - because workers keep burning toast! The Daily Record reports that flights were disrupted and thousands of passengers and staff forced to flee the terminal after hungry immigration officers blundered in staff rooms. Now the airport may impose a toaster ban.
An 'insider' told the newspaper: ‘This is the third time in the past month that the fire brigade have been called out to the airport for burnt toast. It has caused massive disruption for everyone. There are a lot of businesses within the airport terminal which have been hit by the chaos.'
‘It seems to be immigration officers who are triggering the smoke alarms with their snacks and the airport have done nothing about it so far. They need to ban toasters because their total disregard for safety is putting lives at risk and must be costing taxpayers a fortune in false alarms.’
A Prestwick airport spokesman said: ‘We are currently reviewing our procedures to prevent a repetition of the problem. We have reminded our staff of the correct use and positioning of toasters and if the problem persists we may consider an outright ban.’
