Is easyJets speedy boarding worth the extra?

I have flown with easyJet many times now but never purchased their
Speedy Boarding add-on, and I will tell you why......

Of the last 12 flights I have been on with easyJet (to various
destinations) only two occasions would it have been worth paying the
extra. Many airports these days do not have enough departure gates
connected to their terminals and therefore although you may have
purchased EastJets speedy boarding, it us in fact useless - all
passengers are hurded onto airport busses, speedy boarding first, then
transported across the tarmac to their plane, BUT wait, where are the
speedy boarding passengers.....they are tucked right into the bus as
they were allowed on first, so in fact, passengers who did NOT
purchase speedy boarding are now FIRST on the plane!!!!!

This to me is 'plane' crazy and yet people still purchase speedy
boarding and are not allowed a refund in situations like the above
which as my experience shows, occurs quite often!

In my experience, flying from the UK out of Gatwick, Stansted, Luton
or Liverpool my advice would be to (if you want to) get speedy
boarding, BUT only on your outward journey as you can never be too sure.

There's one more thing on easyJet's boarding policy which is worth a
mention and that's people boarding with small children....why in earth
they come AFTER speedy boarding passengers is beyond me, but I guess
you pay for what you get.

So next time you hover your mouse over that easyJet Speedy Boarding
check box, just remember my warning.....

Now, it's time to relax and ask the air stewardess for some more
tea....38,000 feet above Spain on an easyJet flight :)
