Thanks for the photos of Neil Broomhall, Doug, he's always been my favourite too. I'm so glad he's happy where he is.

On another note, I'm very confused about your post regarding hand luggage in the U.K. I've had lighters taken off me trying to fly to the U.S. from Canada, and from points in the U.S. to other points in the U.S. Yet I was allowed to take one (visible and declared) from Canada to Manchester, from Glasgow to Belfast, and from Belfast to Edinburgh, and from Glasgow to Toronto last month, all in hand luggage. I assumed it was a U.S. rule!! And in Britain there were very obvious "no sharp objects" signs at all the airports I was at - including scissors. Which I thought was standard - I couldn't even take a corkscrew to the U.S. from Canada, much less scissors. You've been allowed to take scissors on board within the U.S.?

Also, different airlines in the U.K. have different hand baggage allowances - I was allowed a purse AND a (relatively large) carry-on flying on Easyjet between all the above mentioned destinations.
