Well then perhaps you remember the days when it seemed like every third passenger at LHR was loading two originally boxed Sony 27 inch TV's on the scales (no flatscreens in the 80's - these were huge!). PK had to build a special section of the hold for TV's which doubled up nicely for transporting crates of mangoes on the return.
