I received a receipt for it and on arrival in Heathrow there it was, in it's own little box, riding the carousel with the rest of the luggage. No reason your lovely cheese slicer couldn't have been returned - it's a racket!

We confiscated it right away. It's much better off with us here anyway."<br />Pity there was no post office booth nearby so you could mail it to yourself. I had to do that once when they "confiscated" some pricey "not allowed on the plane" items from me.<br />What do you think happens to all the "confiscated" items? You can believe me that they are not dumped.<br />I hope you can mail order another cheese slicer soon.<br />Looks like Sophie wants to take the Font's Astrology course as well.
