I didn't realise that. There are commentaries around that state that staff were in the habit of forcing doors for this reason, and indeed on a couple of occasions critics have said to me, "but wasn't it established that the padlock was broken by members of staff taking a short-cut?"<br /><br />So, the padlock was on the land-side side, which makes it hard to see how anyone caught air-side could have broken it no matter how cross they were about the door being locked. And this wasn't a pattern of behaviour anyway. The idea of someone in too big a hurry to walk round deciding to commit what would have been classed as criminal damage was something entirely dreamed up by the prosecution.<br /><br />Well well.Rolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17849975010197698907noreply@blogger.com
