    C'est magnifique, Les Halles de Lyon! And oh my word, enrobe d'une meringue royale ... what bliss ...

    What a nutter you were sat next to on the plane though!

    All sounds delicious MWC. When are you serving up, just so I can arrive a bit early? :rotfl:

    Nutter indeed - but no idea how you managed to get nail scissors onto a plane ... I have probably had half a dozen pairs confiscated over the last few years!

  • Perhaps it depends on the airport? From the Heathrow website:

    Can I take nail scissors in my hand baggage?
    Yes, providing the blades are no longer than 6cm measured from the point where the blades cross.

    Whereas he was sitting next to a perfectly normal person knitting woolie hats for bottles of juice....................... just saying ;).
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
