Lefties has landed in the Liverpool, first UK store. And there’s a queue to get in. At the top, two women from Leeds who arrived last night. I’ve already had a tour. Suspect it’s going to do well, with cash strapped shoppers.

Aargh. We are at the departure gate, checked in and bags taken, ready for a sunshine break. But @flynorse has just cancelled flight. Plane never left Orlando, staff say. Supposedly leaving tomorrow with AirTanker plane instead. Very strange and disappointing. @Mattallwright
Anyone else on this flight? Please be careful. Almost been tricked by what appears to be a scam site @flynors_TeamS offering support. Looked convincing, esp if you are in a complete flap! @flynorse
