I tried to fly from SOU with some meat which I had bought in JER. As there was a foot and mouth outbreak in the UK, even though that did not affect the Channel Islands, I was told it was not allowed as it had transitted the UK. As it was several kilos of expensive fillet steak, I went to the security desk and asked if someone could take it and maybe give it to a charity or similar. they assured me this would be done, and took my details. I thought 'yeah right', but a few days later I received a letter from the warden of an old age home thanking me!
