Sorry I'm late honey, what's for dinner?

From Ananova

"A Dutch tourist has finally returned home after five months stranded in a Brazilian airport.

Sheridan Gregorio was stuck at Fortaleza airport after he spent all his money on holiday.

He had a return ticket to get home but did not realise that he also had to pay airport tax.

After missing his flight, he was told he had also lost his ticket because it was non-refundable.

With no money, Mr Gregorio resorted to sleeping in the airport and cleaning restaurants in exchange for food and some money.

After he saved enough for the airport tax, Brazilian police negotiated with the airline to let him use his old ticket to go home.

Mr Gregorio told Jornal da Globo: 'The Brazilian people were really nice to me, they treated me well.'"
