These threads do tend to wander from the initial post!
I remember the eyesight test at Gatwick,having a torch shone in my eyes by a very serious caa optician/doc he was about 6mm from my nose and taking bloody ages,I could feel his breath he was so close,I ended up bursting out laughing and having to have it done again....I defy anyone not to do the same
I also remember the lovely dressing gowns...and the finger...look no hands I heard the doc cry out!!
