Well something was going to happen. Airports and I are not natural partners, but it was my fault for leaving my small archaeological trowel in my hand luggage. So it leads to a discussion with the security officials as to whether it is in fact a potential weapon to hijack the Easyjet flight. I have never seen three people examine a 4 inch trowel in such detail. Their hands wave it around as though it was a sword, then change to brick and mortar laying movements, until one looks up at me and says “Don’t you normally wear red braces?”

Then my faux sword or trowel fencer comes up with the not very original line of “So I suppose your career is in ruins Mr Stewart”. Limp smiles and thin laughter as I pack away my trowel and am waived on.
