Hmmm. Here we are, killing a bit of time at Heathrow, the three of us left now from the group, and the harridan on the airline lounge desk wouldn't let one of us in because his card was ruby, not silver, and his ticket's only Premium Economy not Business, so we all politely said Thank you (for nothing) and came out to wander the shops.
So then I looked for something typically English to photograph for this post and chose good old Boots the Chemist. Except, as I took the photo, one of the checkout people barked at me, "You can't do that! You can't photograph the sign!"
"Why not?" I asked, astonished. "Says who?"
"Store policy," she snapped. "Delete it!"
So of course I did.
Welcome to Britain.
