Huron Topp and SALAD DODGER - thanks for taking the time to offer your quality advice. It's amazing what an impact a few wise words from guys who've been there and done it can have on the confidence of someone who's fighting to get there. I feel better equipped already and I'll re-read this before I next fly.
Huron Topp: now all I need to do is think of a code word for 'Swedish blonde, schoolgirl outfit and large tub of Haagen Das ice cream'...!!!
