Cheers, I'll look in to that. And thanks in general for everyone's help and advice, really appreciated. I'll make sure I post updates as the matter progresses.

I asked this one to 9 people around the office: 6 would do nothing 2 would go back and secretly buy ticket in case they got recognised on the return journey 1 would confess all Coming from a newly informed position (ie better understanding of rules and regs); perhaps one should return to...
