The elder lad inadvertently picked up the wrong suitcase in Toronto yesterday, BA0093 from LHR 16 July.
He's going out there to get married, we're following on Sunday. Naturally there was a lot of stuff for the event, suits for the groomsmen, clothes etc, as well as his iPad and all sort of personal stuff.
BA have been less than helpful in trying to locate the other passenger, who, we assume, has his case.
Anyone got any contacts in Canada, or BA (I'm waiting for a reply from a couple of chums) or have any bright ideas?
Usual rewards available . . . . .

Why assume the other passenger is as silly as your lad? 
Your case is probably at Baggage Services at the airport, which is probably where the passenger who owns the bag your lad has is looking.

Felicitations.
All is cool and calm with the first of the morning wave of flights
just starting to crank up in the distance. Give it another 5 minutes
and they'll be rattling down the runway nose to tail. Hard to
imagine that some will be on their fifth pint of Stella already.
The funeral went well yesterday and was very well attended as
you would expect for someone so young.

"Internet users in China have in recent days reported problems posting references to the warmhearted bear of A.A. Milne’s children’s books on social media sites. The apparent reason? Some commenters are using images of Winnie-the-Pooh to suggest that he shows a resemblance to President Xi Jinping.
The Communist Party bristles at even the slightest hint of criticism, and censors are especially sensitive to any mockery involving Mr. Xi, the most powerful Chinese leader in decades.
The party has shown particular disdain for comparisons of Mr. Xi and Winnie-the-Pooh." NY Times.
How awkwardly sensitive do you have to be to offended by something like this?
Wait, I'll go ask Erdogan.
Personally I don't think there is any resemblance. Winnie is all soft, cuddly, likeable and has a sense of humour.

Had that fault show on my Holden wagon here Bluey, very misleading, it was a simple air leak under the plastic cover they put on top of engines these days and just required a new hose. Maybe worth another look?

Morning all.
While various bits of the UK are being lashed by torrential rain
and other parts of Europe are burning I'm sitting here in the
garden bewildered by it all. It's overcast here but that's as far
as it goes. Warm with a refreshing breeze and hopefully the rains
will keep going around and past me. We shall see.
Thoughts with all of you who are suffering from the effects of the elements today.
Sounds like the holiday season is in full swing here with aircraft
being launched every minute or so at the moment.

I did notice that later on that day the advert had disappeared, so one of three things had happened; they sold it, they took it "offline" for repairs, or they passed it to a wholesaler. If it reappears I shall check it out again because it was a truly beautiful car for the price.

What ho chums.
Piddling it down here which is a welcome relief for the garden
and he whose job it is to water it. Looks like it is set for the rest
of the day which is a bit of a bother as I'm taking a boat down to
the local marina for refuelling this morning. Aviation is much
more civilised where all you have to do is pick up the phone and
ask the fuel man to visit. It was where I flew from anyway.
I wonder if Mr D has managed to escape home yet ??

In each there was an escape committee.
Your final activity was to order meals for the incoming patients (who would automatically receive what 'you' had ordered for yourself).
