Aubie, there is a bit of backgound to this, and a as we all know I love background....
Last week a Stewardess on an AirTours (UK charter airline - to be avoided at all costs) flight from Spain to the UK was attacked by a passenger wielding a broken vodka bottle.
The stewardess had to have 20+ stiches and is scarred for life.
Big Dick (Branson) looking for free publicity as always (the vendetta continues) said that he wanted to start a data-base of passengers to be barred for life from all flights by UK carriers.
A good idea if you ask me (not that you did)!
