    Are you joking Zigs! Venice, even more water and the sort that needs a stomach pump if contact's made! :doh:

    Clueless, I'd rather take my chances on the water than in a plane. :)

          :scratch: Since the 'General Non-Gardening Discussion' appears to have disappeared, I thought this was the replacement!

            Just for info.
            I remember back in the 70's on the Concorde project, they were offering employees £1000 for ideas that could save 1lb in weight, a LOT of money back then! Weight saving is nothing new, indeed, it's always been pretty much top of the agenda. Trust me, a 1% weight saving is a big deal, in the aircraft industry.

              Heat the inside to sauna levels and people could travel naked. :blue thumb:

              That's worth at least £2,000 :loll:

                Is that why I had a packet of 5 Rothmans from a Concord flight Freddy? :)
