Liverpool Airport

I thought I was going to miss the plane when I went to Liverpool. We just hit traffic jam after traffic jam. It took twice the time it usually would. My flight left at 9.30am and we arrived just after 9. The gate was to close at 9, and you don't get there until you've gone through security. I raced in and up the airport, burst into security and was able to start straight way. A very unruffled, unhurried man with strong Liverpool accent slowly took my things and then casually said, "Boots, please!" I tugged them off and handed them to him and he leisurley placed them on the conveyor belt. Finally, I raced off again and arrived at my gate with 10 minutes to spare. Interestingly enough, we only decided the night before that we would leave a quarter of an hour earlier than we had planned. Had we not done that, I would have missed my flight.
