he could of course have gone to a supermarket first and bought the mars bar to take with him; then just bought the perfume at Gatdump that would have been cheaper :wink:

Really dislike Heathrow.

orlando baggage handlers :evil: :evil: :evil:

decided their shift finished without completing the loading checks on the plane i was meeting at Gatwick so plane delayed 95 minutes whilst all luggage re checked in plane landed over 2 hours late meaning I had to cover a later 8 seater to BHX with 2 cars resulting in £70 loss on that job :sad:

I would imagine a lot of the passengers were really happy as well

I think Orlando airport is a nightmare for a number of reasons.

One the time it takes to get through immigration, and another that you get your bags and then have to give them away again before you get them back again.

Madness.

seriously though it is the drivers duty to ask the passenger to belt up if you don't and are pulled by the police you can be in trouble

No you're not, a driver doesn't have to make an adult wear a seatbelt.
