The tangled mess of cables behind the telly, most of which belong to electronics which have been long since chucked out and are covered in 11 years worth of dust but I don't know which ones are safe to throw out, arrrgh!

The airbus has a tiny gangway as it is - yes, you will need to stop rolling your trolley and take an absolute age to put the handle down to carry it up the stairs - don't complain when I'm trying to walk past you as you savour every last second of your trip through the airport corridors - and finally, you will need that passport to get through Arrivals . Bit of a clue though - if it's not an electronic one, you won't get through to use the electronic gates. no matter how much you wave it at the man checking people into the area. ..and breathe..

And I'm sure it wouldn't be that difficult to put the bins back on the floor instead of on the chairs.
