What the hell happened to the people who won the Battle of Britain?

most of them are have passed away.

Those that haven't have been made airmarshalls.
apart from being 90 years old, suffering from Alzheimers and wearing
diapers they fill the role (and the diaper) very well.

So - are we all feeling safer yet?
I would be very comfortable knowing that one of them was on my flight -
as long as he wasn't sitting next to me

Why is everyone scared of being on the same plane as a guy wirth a gun?
A guy with an Almanac - that is reallllly scary.
Two Almanacs? Run - it's Billy The Kid.
They used to ask if you packed your own bags, or if you had a suitcase
bomb or a pair of nailclippers.
Now they ask the best date to plant wheat in Idaho.
If you answer it correctly they send in the swat team.

Isn't it just slightly possible, that at some time, someone, somewhere
lost their direction? Sure as hell seems like it from where I'm sitting.

Me too. Interesting when a book seems more powerful than the "greatest
nation on earth", the country where it is so difficult to make a telephone
call from a payphone where to dial a 10 digit number you have to key in 30
digits.
