Hah, I remember a BA flight (on which I was thankfully not on) which decided to return back to Heathrow 6 hours into a 12 hour flight to Tokyo for that exact reason.
Imagine flying 12 hours in a plane only to be back where you started.

After the first officer returned to the cockpit, some of the other passengers on my EasyJet flight complained to the cabin crew. They said things like "it will be fine, standard procedures, happens all the time".
