    I thought you was leading towards that but to be honest it was said tongue in cheek

    Not your
    Clearly a sense of inching forward in ruling that any average standardization of appendages needs to be categorically stated.

    And why do people insist being at the airport 2 or 3 hours early, even when they've got no checked in baggage.

    To be fair I get there early every time to have a meal and a good few drinks safe in the knowledge that I’m not going to miss the flight. Why is that a problem? I’ve never once been bored or wish I’d got there later.

    To have a coffee or a beer, do some duty free shopping, watch the airplanes come and go, queue. There are many reasons.

    Why? Apart from using the American name for aeroplanes.

    She has correctly been found guilty of the charges brought against her in Egypt; have there been charges anywhere else? 3 years is harsh. We have had this conversation previously and you continually confuse yourself.

    Nothing confusing at all, she has been given a sentence at the lower end of the possible outcomes for a crime like this. She has gotten off lightly

    And my one and only point has been that their scale of punishent is uncivilized.

    You seem to be saying it's some sort of leniency having time incarcerated prior to sentencing knocked off her sentence. Surely you don't believe that, John?

    I think 3 years is the minimum sentence, she could have got a lot longer.

    I know that, but I fail to see how it relates to my single point of argument other than to give it more weight.

    On this page you have called her sentence both harsh and uncivilised, that may be the case if she had committed the crime and been convicted here. She broke the law in Egypt, their law, their punishment. Again she was given the minimum sentence possable, I will wager there are some Eygptians moaning that she got off lightly because she is British.

    I have my own perspective on what is civilised and that's the one I apply to my opinion. The opinion of Egyptians has taken a serious knock back of late...

    100% true. I’ve never been to an airport that doesn’t have bars and restaurants.

    The problem as I see it is a country's laws being civil or uncivilised is irrelevant. The Laws are just that , Laws. You break them you pay the price. Being civil or not is not a question for the law to answer. For example California making dope legal to smoke recreationally may be considered civilised. A year ago it was illegal and uncivilised but you still had to pay the price for breaking the law.
