They've
been having horrendous (what are claimed to be just) teething
problems with the baggage handling system at the new terminal
5 at Heathrow International Airport last week, but the problems
don't seem to stop there.
According
to a report we saw on Ananova, reporting a story from The
Sun (a British tabloid), a visitor to the new terminal finished
off 4 cappuccinos while waiting for a traveler flying in
from Hong Kong.
She
was expecting a bill for about £12.
The
bill was actually for £361,514.97.
The
error was immediately rectified and apparently everyone
had a laugh at the error which was blamed on a computer
glitch.
