ReplyDeleteOn the Heathrow Express the TV screens are busy advertising how the conveyor belts will effortlessly cope with more than 12000 pieces of baggae an hour.

ReplyDeleteIs that like reggae, but with a heavier beat?
It reminded me of Monty Python's 'Contractual Obligation' album - which included a ditty entitled "I'm so worried (about the baggage retrieval system they've got at Heathrow)"
ReplyDeleteAnd that was over 25 years ago - prescient or what?
Stop boasting about your AMEX!
ReplyDeleteThe future is clearly in smaller regional airports. I fly out of Southampton or Bournemouth whenever possible. In each case, within 30-40 minutes of the plane landing, I am at home with the kettle on. I never check in more than an hour before the flight either.
If only I could fly longhaul from these two excellent airports.
So what do you want? A manual system wherein the handlers rifle through your bags, nick anything valuable and then send the remains to Timbuctu? Or an automated system wherein the machines eat your baggage, destroy anything valuable and then send the remains to Timbuctu?
ReplyDeleteProgress is a wonderful thing. Innit?
