Question about Flying

[mustard-tree]

I am in my mid 60s and have never flown in an aeroplane.

I have been in a hot air balloon and a 5 minute pleasure flight in a helicopter

I thought it would be a good idea for me and my friend to go from Bristol to Glasgow by air for a day trip

But looking on a website, it states that all passengers, even on domestic flights must produce photo id.

No problem for me, as I have a photo driving licence, but my friend has no passport or driving licence.

Anyone any idea why they should want this, when, if travelling by train or coach, we can simply buy a ticket and go.

I have trawled the website, but no reason is given.

Is it because Britain has been invaded by alien terrorists?

 Should that not be in the singular?

[malacandran]

Britain used to be singular, but now it's "multi-cultural" and "multi-ethnic", so you're probably right.

We are the world!  We are vibrant and like, embracing diversity,  If anyone believes that, they need their head examined.

Oh do shut up!

Who was it that said that?

[malacandran]

Our country is being destroyed, and you say "oh do shut up".
