Fun Fact of the day

It took me the same amount of time to cover the distance from the checkin desk in Gatwick to the plane, as it took the plane to get from there to Berlin (including the half hour waiting for a takeoff slot).

But at least I was safe in the knowledge that noone on board had more than 1 litre of liquids in containers of 100 millilitres. And that even those were in ziploc baggies where they couldn't hurt me.
