As something of a worrier by nature and a fan of Monty Python, I have always enjoyed the Terry Jones song I'm So Worried.
As a youngster listening to this song, I probably shared many of the fears being sung about in the song. However I never really got the reference to "the baggage retrieval system they've got at Heathrow". This was mainly due to the fact that we could never have afforded to fly anywhere when I was that age - the most exotic holiday I can remember was the annual trip (by train and boat) to the Isle of Man - so the observation rather went over my head.
It's funny how 30-40 years on the song is probably at its aptest this week. You take your luggage to Heathrow and it ends up in Milan!
How post-modern, we are now getting to the stage where your luggage gets a better holiday than you do as a passenger.
Yes, I'm so worried about the baggage retrieval system they've got at Heathrow. :-/
Let's just hope it's not a "terminal" problem. ;-)
