LGW security last Monday.

Man in green: 'You can't have that' (150mL bottle of Furosemide)

Me: 'Yes, I can it's medicine, the DfT say I can'.

Man in green: 'But it's more than 100 millitres'

Me: 'yes I'm allowed it, because it's medicine, but not a 150mL of water'

Mig: 'Where's the prescription label' (obviously thinking he's got me)

Me (admittedly somewhat triumphantly): 'On the bottle itself, not the box it comes in'

So I went through, complete with Furosemide..

Coming back from Venice, woman goes of with bottle to talk to her boss before allowing it through. I have wondered if they could be persuaded to take about 15ml: they'd be running to the loo for hours. (It's a diuretic!)

But it seems strange that they aren't au fait enough with their own rules to recognise that a bottle that's obviously medicine is allowed.
