    And don't bother to bring more. I was watching a programme about British Customs - and they can and will x-ray your luggage before you collect it, then stop you if you fail to make the correct declaration at Customs control.

    They are (they're)     sitting on the floor.
    Their     books are lying on the floor.
    The books are sitting just there on the floor.

    The best thing about the programme I watched was someone who brought in a ridiculous amount of tobacco. The guy was clearly one of the ...shall we say lower elements of society, and claimed to smoke a considerable amount a day. Of course, the Customs officer asked him to roll a cigarette - and he refused!

    Talk about walking straight into a trap :D

    This is the video - watch and laugh ;)
