Travelling out of Gatwick on TCX I checked a suitcase in which was under allowed weight. I was then asked to put my hand luggage on scales which was a couple of kilos above the 5 kilo limit.
The agent told me to remove items from hand baggage and place in suitcase.
Now one of the reasons that limits on suitcase weight was brought in was good old Health & Safety on behalf of baggage handlers.
As I am the only one handling my hand baggage but my suitcase in being lifted by others this is nonsensical is it not?
I sometimes despair at the way we Brits enforce the rules whether they are sensible or not.
