Best of all, they don't even force you to buy a coffee or a beer. So civilised.<br /><br />If you want a laugh though, try squeezing into the airport's glass cubical for a fag along with the moaning Yanks... <i>"My god, we thought it was bad in California or New York but they don't make you suffer like this!"</i> they'll cry.
