Just out of interest, if you got on the plane without knowing this, and you had half a K of H stuffed down your underpants or wherever, does the airline offer any practical advice on how you can change your mind and not go through with it?

Your life is very much on the line when you are on an NHS operating table, or in a flight in the hands of air traffic control over Heathrow or Gatwick. What percentage do you accept in those situations?
Judging by your reaction it doesn't feel it was wasted at all! But carry on. It's odd that you start a thread asking for a 'discussion' when it's very clear you only want a platform for your own take on the matter.
