Aren't you so glad that you have never flown "Air Butlins"..
Am going transatlantic again next week.. and yes I could carry my laptop / dvd etc but... why should I have to? Isn't that sending out the message that I don't care if the service is sub standard whilst I am having my genitals ripped out through my wallet for the mere pleasure of being on the plane in the first place? I prefer to walk on a plane in jeans and a t shirt, mp3 in pocket, book in hand and all else in the hold out of my way
