Re: Airport "security"
I usually use my BMI card to self check in as well. Usually using Manchester Airport (or more recently Heathrow as BMI have stopped long haul flights from Manchester), which has fairly efficient security. The key to not getting stopped with liquids is to... not carry liquids, check them in if you ar...

Re: Do you have ID?
Completely understand the fear that clerks must have of being prosecuted. Although, I must point out that it would not affect your travel to the United States, as a fixed penalty notice would not be construed (sp?) as a crime of 'moral turpitude'. Believe me a trip to the supermarket now requires mo...

Do you have ID?
Just had a text from a friend who was refused alcohol (wine and beer) in a supermarket because she was shopping with her daughter, who is 14, as they thought the alcohol was/might have been for the daughter. Now, as far as I understand, the law states a child over the age of 5 can be served alcohol ...

Re: I Can Charge You Double From Today
Which pub was it? It's not uncommon to see shifty looking people crack open a can under the table and discreetly decanter it into their pint glass. That or go to Wetherspoons. I think it was the punch and judy near Leicester square. Whatever it was, it was a bit of a shit hole with grumpy bar staff...

Re: Possible General Election
I would rather GB than Cameron.
If an General Election came tomorrow, I might be tempted to vote Labour as I live in a LAB-CON marginal.
However, ideally I think I would vote UKIP or BNP

Re: Scratch Cards
I actually play the lottery games quite a lot. I am quite the amateur gambler and have won quite nicely over the last few months. In June, I had £100 on the Dream Number, and in the last few months I have had over £100 on scratchcards. My general rule is that I put £20 to one side every week for gam...
