Paging snugs -

Didn't you say Blair travels commercial? That he is not permitted to use the Queen's plane?

I know that the Queen has flown commercial before.

Yikes! Don't they have an Air Force One type plane? Who does security on a commercial flight?

You can tell the difference between the British politicians and American ones. Their PM flies commercial, while a politician from America, from the city dog catcher to a Senator thinks they should have the equivalent of an Air Force One.

As Yakov Smiernoff (sp?) says, "What a country".

He flies BA chartered 777-200ER's on long trips. They supposedly have a special interior configuration when the PM or Royalty charter 777's.
