I went skiing with a group of friends earlier this year. My mate Dave Common-Surname got his boarding pass and proceeded through security and to Boots to buy something he'd forgotten. It was only when the check out girl expressed surprise at what he was buying given that he was flying to Barbados that he checked and saw he was indeed flying to Bridgetown rather than Geneva. Cue a panicked 30 minutes of retrieving his luggage which was bound for the Caribbean.

An interesting start to a boozy ski trip
