So sat in my hotel room watching CNN about the snow situation in England and I decided to Tweet the news reader, explaining that I was a 20 year old traveller that just wanted to be back home in England for Xmas.
Sure enough, sat here on blogger, browsing the net as you do, and CNN reports news about 'Europe experiencing huge flight delays and cancellations,' And explains about Heathrow and Gatwick runway closures.
Sure enough, he then says 'Steve from the UK Tweets that...' and reads out my situation.
Was pretty weird to hear myself being mentioned on national television.
Those who want my autographs let me know ;D
