This is just a short one, but makes me smile a lot. When I first started to travel to London for work around 2006 I would get a low cost airline I will call Sleazy Jet. Their London airports were lets say euphemistically described as being in London, but in fact from them you could see London using a telescope on a clear day if you knew which way to look. This made travel a daunting prospect, as multiple trains and tubes were required, anyway on this occasion I was flying from London-Stansted!! I had just finished up an employment and was glad to be moving on. I had with me all my worldly (work related) possessions in one massive bag from my 3 month stint. Because it was everything it was very heavy and I knew it would attract an additional expense to go in the hold, but was resigned to paying it. I got to the airport early and since there was a slots arcade I went and played starting with £100 and in two hours I ended with £800 mostly in £1 coins (this was before payout machines issuing paper money). I was now even more weighed down. I then went to check my bag and got the good news that it was going to cost me £330 extra you could see their satisfaction with catching another overweight hold bag. They were shocked when I agreed to pay and gave them £330 in £1 coins. Everyone was compliant! To this day the shock on their faces still gives me a warm glow!
