A story for the lighter side

British Airways has apologised after passengers received crates of frozen fish on a baggage carousel instead of their luggage.

Becca Braunholtz, from Sherborne, Dorset, was among those who were left baffled when boxes of sea bass and sea bream mistakenly delivered to Terminal 5 of Heathrow Airport on Monday.

She and her family had just landed following a family holiday in Cyprus.

British Airways said it was reuniting customers with their bags after noticing "something fishy" had happened.

Made me think of that Airplane! scene for some reason, the one with the passengers on the carousel and the luggage on the floor waiting for them. Grin

No, no, adults should not be placed on the luggage carousel, children should be placed in ~~freight crates~~ travel toboggans and then transported in the hold, with a "state of the art feed trough"

Frozen fish needs to be kept frozen, but children store best at about room temperature.

A proper intercity train has a minimum of 8 coaches, gangwayed throughout, with first at one end, and a full sized buffet car between first and standard.
It has space for cycles, surfboards,luggage etc.
A 5 car DMU^▸ is not a proper inter-city train. The 5+5 and 9 car DMUs are almost as bad.
