God, I am really pi*sed off with Dublin airport facilities.

This morning I had the good fortune to collect a colleague from a flight from Franfurt so I arrived at the airport with about 30minutes to spare. The intention being 'have a coffee and a sandwich'. More like have a brew of insipid Latte and a semi frozen semi soggy concockion of rubber textured smoked ham, wilted lettuce, some slices of tomato that a Parma Ham carver would have been proud of they were so thin and what was suppose to be butter on the bread.

Well for starters, I do understand that food must be kept in a refridgerator so yes it should be cold, but this sandwich was so cold there was no give in the bread, it had the consistency of soggy cardboard (probably attempted to butter the bread straight from the freezer ?) and tased as tasteless also, not that I'm given to eat cardboard (soggy or otherwise) on a regular basis that I should be able to make a comparisson, but I do know these things. I opened one side of the sandwich No Butter or even spread or mayo on board. Then I looked at the wilted lettuce the rubber ham and the practically non existant tomato. I hesitantly took a bite - well I was hungry !!!!.

As my body tried to digest the offering , I tried another bite to see if it got any better NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. So there was €4.95 into the bin. I learned a long time ago no point complaining to the girls working in the coffee shop in DA, they tell you the sandwichs are bought in ready prepared and packed and then their english isn't quiet good enough to carry on a heated argument and you get more frustrated and the old blood pressure rises. So back to the counter I goes, I'll have a scone and some butter and jam. Hhhmmmmmmmmmmmm. The scone could be bounced off the wall it was that hard. Whats the f**king point, your better off starving.

Ok I said the coffee was insipid latte, I probably should stick to the black coffee like Blacksheep is doing, but hell a nice hot latte is nice every now and again.

So here we go again, DAA, please get the resturants to do something about the quality of their produce.

Can they d'ont give a shite, they have you exactly where they want you, and you will buy that crap sandwich, and crap coffee, we all do it, its tradition. The only solution I can offer is to bring your own, but can you imagine the looks you would get from the passers by never mind the impression your foreign collegues would generate.

There goes the lightbulb, what happened to Ben Dunnes sandwich making business idea, he was going to compete on price and quality and he reckoned he could produce better sandwiches for under €1 and sell them for €1.95.

I suppose you could send it back to the producer, but you know what would happen d'ont you, they'd reseal it and send it back out again.....

According to a woman on Joe Duffy a simple salad, in Dublin Airport is more than most flights into and out-of the airport. The salad allegedly cost €19.

€19 for a salad,€4.95 for s##t sandwich, and we all smile.........................

Who are the fool's?

Great stuff Cantheman, keep truckin....
