And for all this aggravation, they keep charging more money all the timefor these lousy services . How long is it going to be before the UK starts taking you finger prints and picture like in the US. Welcome. We consider you like a criminal until proven otherwise. Why not travel where people are happy to see you and treat you like human beings.

This is an incredibly widespread practice in Japan, where they have luggage delivery down to an art form: you can send a bag anywhere in the country overnight for about $20. (More about this <a href="http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2278.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>.) I'm sure that 24-hour baggage delivery within Western Europe would work at a higher volume and lower price. You don't really need your clothes until the day after you arrive, anyhow. This would obviously be pointless for intercontinental trips, though. Not exactly a bad idea.

You really shouldn't be reading such tat. It'll stop you getting all worked up. You forget ‘Daily Mail’ is English English for ‘Toilet Paper’. You really shouldn’t be reading such tat.
