Enough already guys, I have to get home yet and don't have the option of going back to the car to leave it! If you hear of a disturbance in the relevant airport in the coming week you will know security and I have had a disagreement during which they dug their heels in!

Well BB it turned out it wasn't the radio itself that was the issue, it was the odd shape of the heatsink on the back of the set. They couldn't work out what it was when they saw it on the X-Ray...

I was once told to remove the batteries from my torch, because its Electronic! I asked if I had to take my watch battery out but that was not required as that apparently was not Electronic!

What you on about Cpt. being the village numpty is a pre requisite of getting the job!

The guy behind me Gatwick - Jersey had a bit of a to do with some piece of kit (couldn't see it) that he argued was not wireless when challenged. I thought this could be fun, however being told all electronic equipment had to be switched off he complied, albeit he had to be told again before landing.

Anyone in Jersey want to buy an A6?
