Not sure whether it's domestic or long-haul flights but it is something I disagree with, I'm afraid.

Get well soon, Rollo.

There was an article some time again about a passenger who had a pig for emotional support.

Although pigs are clean in themselves, who knows if that one was toilet trained or what the resulting pong might have been? There's also the problem of those of (at least) 2 faiths who wouldn't want to be in close proximity.

After complaints from other flyers, the passenger was escorted off the plane.
You can take things too far.

NB - if you can see to type, you're either on the mend, or the worst is yet to come. Take care.

US Airlines operate a policy called "emotional support" which may allow you to bring a furry or feathered friend with you on a flight Inside the cabin !!! There are size limitations. The owner has to buy a ticket for their friend, full price.

What a wonderful notion. At last a way to travel without sitting next to oversize people. Somebody to pass the time with instead of inflight movies.

There used to be a gang of wild peacocks in Hordle, New Forest but they were removed by elf 'n safety much to the chagrin of many residents of the village.

I have the flu and nothing much else to do but @surf and drink Quarente Tres. Hopefully I can be back at work next week.
