I have a process I wear casual (smart casual that is) shoes for the flight, I need my black oxfords for work and then I need training shoes for the gym whilst I am travelling. Only got 2 feet so cant wear all six shoes on the plane.

Oh, you mean you have more than one pair of shoes :shock: . How does a man manage that?

One day I will splurge and buy myself another pair. But Mrs NM and 4 x mini-NMs consume the footwear budget at out house .

mrs sim wins by quantity but I win by volume (giant feet) and price (6 pairs of shoes - 4 pairs of florsheim)

The deal reached at the end of last week on provision of information apparently applies until July 2007.

Details here: BBC NEWS | Europe | Passenger data deal for US and EU and here BBC NEWS | Europe | US hails EU flight data deal

Pretty much the same information seems to be transmitted except now it will be provided by the European airlines rather than via direct access to airline computers by the Americans. The Americans seem happy but I guess it's open to European court challenge.
