And I've said this before too; one year we got away with being over the limit and having our ski bags rammed with clothes etc, the people on the next desk checking in were named and shamed when they dared to have one piece of clothing in their board bag.
Maybe it's because they were boarders?
Seems fair to me

A total of 19kg overweight, or in essence £190 worth of excess baggage.
He doesn't say he got away with it, just says he didn't have his hand luggage weighed, if he got away with that amount I too would be

i cetainly got away with it , the lovely lady even stuck a 'heavy' sticker on each bag...and she checked us into the seats with extra leg room...must have been my winning smile!!
to be fair though some of the other lads were underweight on the baggage front an i would have been prepared to argue my case that they people before and after in the queue were rather large and presumably weighed a hell of a lot more than my excess...but thats another debate
Thanks everyone for your comments - Mrs Dean has managed to get down to 2 Kgs overweight. So all the electrical items are going in my ski jacket pockets!

Thats the way to do it! My hand luggage usually has Mrs H's hairdryer and straighteners in.
