Thanks for the email addresses Jim. I am going to send an email off to these lot straight away. I will be amazed if one of them turns out to be human but who knows. I'm sure they will be interested in my story in one way or another anyway plus the fact that I have sent detailed emails of my story to every paper in the UK. I still intend to do the same with the American papers and the Argie press too when I get a moment.
Tomorrow I'm off to the Delta office in Buenos Aires again to try and get them to change my girlfriend's ticket to an open ticket which she can use later in the year. There is a charge for this of 250 USD but when we originally spoke to the manager last Sat night (exactly a week ago) he personally promised that if she wanted to change the date on her ticket, he would arrange to do it free of charge. He is the only person who has actually admitted that Delta are to blame for all of this (not by admitting it out loud, but by offering us this gesture of a free ticket change). However, this is not to say he will honour his word as he does work for Delta! If they do agree to change it free of charge, we are going to buy a ticket with Iberia that flies via Madrid and London to get to Manchester. They are probs the cheapest of a quite pricey bunch.Tam were much cheaper a few months ago but their prices have shot up recently. So we will buy a ticket with Iberia for my gf hopefully for this week and then I will fly with Delta on my ticket on the same day. My gf's brother will pay for the ticket on his credit card and we will pay him back over the course of the year. This solves all problems re visa issues and losing my gf's Delta ticket. Mind the thought of having to fly with these sick scumbags does make my skin crawl a bit.
It is just a shame that Delta didn't see fit to help me with any of this, since it was their moronic lies that put me here in the first place. I only hope that a paper prints this story and helps to bring these evil mothers down.

By the way Jim, you aren't a carpenter by trade? I only ask because you continually manage to hit the nail right on the head every time! PHX perhaps your trade is blind carpenter?
