I once shared a charter plane with Chris Rea

We flew from Frankfurt to Leeds Bradford International airport. Not to be confused with the Henry Kissinger airport at Otley. We were the only passengers.
He let me join his flight.
We had to have a whip round for the fuel before we could leave the fuelling station.
Then faffing about with the airline to get the fuel knocked off the charter price.

The accountants queried my expense report for the 50% of the charter. But not the receipt for the fuel.
We could only have one invoice and a photocopy.
So, I claimed my 50% and wrote the explanation on my copy of the invoice. Went on for weeks. Numpties.
The "airline" went bust shortly afterwards.
