I would add "When asked," to the beginning of this sentence.

Great article so far!

A few grammar tidbits:

Quote
Is there a worse nightmare than having 3 of your kids.....
I would write 'Could there be a worse nightmare'

Quote
so they flew on British Airways via London on the outbound journey and on Iberia via Madrid on the return.
I would write 'so they flew British Airways with a stopover in London, and returned with Iberia Airlines with a stop in Madrid.'

Quote
Their grandfather accompanied them to the Iberia check-in counter in Miami
-> 'In Miami, their grandfather.......'

Quote
but despite asking for the Iberia boarding passes
-> '. When they asked for the Iberia boarding passes.....'

Quote
Iberia stranded 3 kids in a city where they didn’t speak the language without taking any sort of responsibility for their well-being.

I would put a comma before 'language'
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

Do the people not liking the "The" know what expression is being parodied?

A whole lot of people I offer Iberia options never heard that name before. If possible to add in title Iberia airlines so people know we're talking about an airline..

The first time I read it I didn't chap the parody and it seemed pretty tortured.

I would just drop the clever title, it takes away from the seriousness IMO

AKA, probably too tortured for most people.
