You’ll Need A Green Top Hat!
<p>Sometime back in the 1990s, I used to travel between Ireland and Cuba. These were days before all decent people hated Russia, and one of the cheapest flights was the “Aeroflot stopover.”</p>
<p>This was between South America (usually Lima or Santiago de Chile) and Moscow, stopping to refuel in Havana and Shannon. If there were seats available, you could buy a ticket for just the middle part.</p>
<p>One day, I booked this flight without thinking of the date. We took off from Havana on 16th March, arriving at Shannon on 17th. It was oddly quiet for Shannon airport. I thought it was because it was early, then I noticed green things and worked it out — <strong>St Patrick’s Day is 17th March.</strong></p>
