Four pounds for baggage trolleys... You got shafted the minute you landed in the UK!
The sausage roll looks really nice, looks like a giant - I just hope it's as big as that photo suggests. Simple, but effective presentation.
Rice in suitcase, Thai wife...A lot of us have been there and done that. You managed the situation superbly.
My little lunatic (I mean sweatheart) is coming back to Korea at the weekend, and she has 40kgs via AsiaAir premium (great ticket price) yet she will still be carrying rice and other stuff in her hand baggage and "laptop bag" to make sure she gets her very very maximum allowance (she has been known to be over the limit then spend time at the airport finding a cast off box then sending stuff via a cheaper route at the Thai Post office counter or various other ways she works out on the spot such as using other Thai passengers with less luggage as rice mules...); I very rarely travel with the wife!
Excellent pics and stories, keep it coming; this thread could make it into the TD HoF!
