First pick up 4am, then collected Sensei Riley and last but not least Sensei Derrick.
Travelled down the M62 in torrential winds and rain, some of us experiencing whiplash due to packing the boot of the taxi with cases.
Arrived at Manchester Airport where we met Gary Elphick and Nick Smith, then onto checking the cases in. After getting rid of the cases, we proceeded to passport control, this is where the story starts.
9 people all corporate clothing in one queue, what could possibly be easier than putting your hand luggage in a tray.
Sensei Derrick asked "why do we need a clear bag", reply from 8 others "for your liquids". Sensei Derrick "you mean all these in my toilet bag", everyone shared bags and gave Sensei Derrick a clear bag.
Sensei Derrick stays special and has his bag and himself security checked 3 times, even down to him having to take his shoes off, big round of applause when he eventually clears security.
Off for breakfast, we all go into Frankie & Bennies for full traditional English breakfasts, the chef obviously took a liking to Shaun and he was given extra on his plate - a suspected pubic hair.
Time for a quick fly around duty free and then off for boarding.
And all this before beer.
