From the age of about 3 I used to travel from Newcastle to Christchurch (NZ) between the 2 farms my family owned. Apparently it was at least one, more usually 2 return trips a year, though I really don't remember it very well. At the age of 11 I inherited the NZ farm, and from that point on I worked on the NZ farm in my school holidays, so at least 6 flights a year between UK and NZ, and I went unaccompanied most times, to the occasional shock of some fellow passengers.

Fairly early on the process I worked out that I don't allow my sheep to live in Y conditions, so CW, or its equivalent, became the norm.

I still do that, and hold down some other part-time roles, that has made me a longterm inmate of BA, Cathay, KLM, Lufthansa and Qantas.
