Reading thread I suddenly realised that it is about 10 years since I last flew in an airliner, no wonder I have the Wander Lust again! However, it sounds like airports have become even worse than I was used to; last time I used one they were already "Shopping Malls with runways" but to have sales canvassers stalking my move would drive me crazy. Shopping is no more than a necessary chore, for food, beer and clothing.
I know many people love shopping, but just how are we expected to carry all this mulloch we have just impulse-bought? We have not yet evolved four arms and baggage limits keep going down.
