elledee,
So sad, that.
You shouldn't have to but I would keep the hat box in my cabin bag and then no one would know. Totally outrageous though that people are so fickle. They are all just so wound up about all these changes and can't see the wood for the trees.
Anyway we both now, know each others names so we will be able to say hello to each other.
Thanks for all the interesting info you have provided it's good to know the facts and not just rumours.
