A smile costs nothing!’. She told me that actually it does and stuck on a £7.50 surcharge, as well as a tenner for additional ski cover as I hadn’t unchecked the box on the form. I turned to the person behind me and said ‘it’s almost as if they don’t want us to fly!’, and the idea took off from there.’ </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/15FA2254-4F2C-4056-9DF8-0F0BAD4FA959/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
