Frozen milk in luggage ?

Do you have a reference for this or did you just make it up?

Open your travel insurance policy wording/terms and conditions. Look under baggage. Find the specific exclusions. There will be an exclusion regarding the carrying of fluids in checked in luggage.

Worked in Travel Insurance for years. It'll be there. Better still, ring the insurance company, give them your policy details, confirm that there will be about 4litres of milk in the suitcase and try to get them to confirm to you in writing that your baggage will be covered when the clothes all smell like baby sick. Airlines don't cover you for liquids, either. It used to be on the back of the tickets, possibly you may have to check the websites nowdays, especially as online bookings mean that not everyone gets a traditional ticket anymore.

And if you saw exactly how the cases were treated after they go through the check in point, you'll see why it's an extremely silly idea to put anything valuable or likely to cause damage if dropped/slung/put underneath 100 other cases/falls off the conveyor belt/gets opened by customs/left out in the sun for hours.

As the level of cover for baggage is usually about £1,000 for adults, that would make it a flippin' expensive cup of tea/milkshake for the kids. Give 'em bottles of water. Bought when you get there. A sealed bottle of Evian isn't going to taste different, even to the most hysterically faddy person, when bought in Europe.

Do not eat fruit, only English bacon. Dont eat cheese Yuk. Pasta Yuk
Only greens I eat is Marrowfat peas. Probably quite a few English foods I do not eat. But I survive!!!! Wife says I am to fussy!!!!

Hope you checked the wording on the bacon. Often it is only classed as English bacon because the pig meat imported from Poland has been cured in the UK.

But one thing - I agree with your wife!

We have had some very strange threads about what people take on holiday. But this one just about gets the gold medal!:rotfl:

Why on earth eould anyone in their right mind want to take milk on holiday with them? As far as I'm aware just about everywhere anyone goes on holiday will have milk in their supermarkets. And much of it will have originated from cows!:rolleyes:

I travel around Europe on a regular basis and many countries have superior supermarkets to the UK. Spanish ones, for instance, have a far better selection of produce, invariably of superior quality. And fish counters here are appalling compared to there. There is certainly always a full range of milk and dairy products too.:doh:

I think that by indulging their ludicrously picky children's every silly whim and foible, the OP is likely to be making a very large rod for their back.;)

I can't believe we're still arguing about this. Hasn't the milk gone off by now?:p

We all have our own little foibles when we are abroad, and also when we are at home.

I know someone who won't drink tea if the milk was poured first, someone who has to put their left shoe on first or they won't go over the threshold, maybe we should live and let live, eh?;)

Am only joking most of the time, apart from the Pasta yuk.Agree about the bacon. Like a lot of foods all it says on the packet is produced or made in the EEC . Why wont they tell us what country ? Even HP sauce is now made in Holland but it does tell you on the bottle.
Think I will give English breakfast a miss today.
All this over a pint of milk !!!!!

What's the EEC? Wasn't aware that I lived in something called the 'EEC'.

It's frankly no issue where it comes from - it's a single market.

Basically the Brits go abroad for the sun NOT the 'Foreign' food. That is why food outlets offering a taste of home are popular.

No, it's popular with the common council estate dweller. Why don't you see British restaurants in Paris, Rome, Berlin or Warsaw? Because educated people that travel to such destinations don't want to eat British food - which has a dreadful reputation in Europe.

I cringe every time I see those 'BRITISH LADS UP 4 IT UNION JACK SHORTS N MARBELLA' types in airports.

Let's be honest, the only people that eat British food abroad are those that support 'OUR BOYS' and who fail to understand the difference between an EU citizen and a non-EU citizen because the newspaper doesn't tell them so.

You are joking aren't you? European Economic Community.

If you were British 'OUR BOYS' is a reference to the British Army.
Do not class council dwellers as low life who do you think you are ?
As for the EU you can stuff it as far as the average Britisher is concerned,we can survive without you lot abroad taking our money,and telling us what to eat.
