Check-in girl : I'm sorry sir, you are 20 KILO'S OVERWEIGHT. You will need to leave all your baggage here or attend the mobile liposuction unit over there in order to fly today. Have a nice day.

Reply: That's alright love. I'll have a big sh1t here. That'll sort it out...

Would a family of Midgets be able to go for the price of one Threaded?

Why not have a standard fare for every plane journey, based on distance flown times total weight (passenger plus all baggage)?

Excellent idea. If some bugger is going to carry a bomb on board make them pay for the extra weight!

[oraclesmith]

Not a bad idea. I can imagine the queues at the weigh-in counter !

Why do I get charged for excess luggage (based on weight) when fat bastards are allowed to fly without excess charges.

Yeah, and can you imagine how much food waste you'd build up over a year or so

Blasphemer! There will be no food waste in the Flubster household, goddammit!

Our local council empty our bins on alternate weeks. We are pretty good with putting our recycling rubbish in the appropriate bin, but find we have to empty our 'black' bin every week by taking it down the local tip. It's not my fault my wife is lazy and we resort to takeaways every night tus generating huge amounts of waste....

Yeah, and can you imagine how much food waste you'd build up over a year or so, all of which should be composted properly ? The councils would do better by collecting food waste themselves in sealed containers and process it to produce fertilizer etc.

Errr...looks more like something built by Gerry Anderson.

Or a set from one of the missing episodes of "The Prisoner"

All build by British engineers from ….. Arthur Anderson.

Considering most councils don't even have the skill to collect the bins at regular, defined intervals, would it not have been better to spend the money on more facilities to deal with it?

Secondarily, most of our recycling stuff isn't recycled. It's contracted out to companies that bury it or chuck it into ships and exported to China or Africa where it's cheap to dump crap.

For the same reason my wife doesn't get a discount for being a skinny @rse. We, in effect, all pay an 'average weight' fare. Possible unfair if you are bulemic, but I'll sit smuggly in my seat (if I can squeeze in it) than you very much...

[Troll]

Clearly that would make you a terrorist.

I prefer to be called " a concerned citizen" I think true accountability requires a robust challenge - if idiotic policies are implemented ( and the real result of this is going to be an increase in fly tipping) then those who dream these ideas up should suffer.
