Whenever I am flying anywhere (not very often these days), I always feel better when I hear those three little words, 'Doors to Manual'. I think it means we have landed and that, until the next time, we have been transported safely through the weather and turbulence all around us. We have arrived at our destination in one piece and can now carry on with the next stage of our life; whether that mean work or pleasure.
The phrase 'Doors to Manual' has been sneeringly used throughout the courtship of HRH Prince William and Catherine Middleton, as a snide reference to the fact that Catherine's parents both worked as cabin crew.
However, the phrase could never be more apt as a metaphor of the current situation.
Not only the couple themselves and their extended families, but the entire nation; which is in a state of in-flight limbo at the moment, will perhaps be mouthing those magic words after Friday.
Happy Landings everyone!
