Not guilty, m'lud. In the sixties I was looking at the planes from the inside, not the outside, of those shiny aluminium tubes. My sisters (who are much older than I am) used to be seen off at Hamburg or Sheremetyevo; on those occasions I would be on the outside looking in, as I was still at schools locally, and not yet sent off to the freezing hell that was the British Preparatory School until the very late 60s. That's when I discovered the true glory of being herded around as an Unaccompanied Minor by harassed young ladies, who occasionally sent kids off to the wrong destinations, to the distress of their parents. 'The history of Unaccompanied Minors' could form the topic of an entirely new thread.
