On a previous school trip, I called the bluff of the kids and told them because I was not visually obviously British and that some of the kids were of asian descent, it would be a certainty that our minibus would be stopped and given a thorough going over in customs on our way back. I offered them salvation through the offering of an amnesty whereby they could deposit illegal items in the kitchen of the gite that we'd been using while the staff walked into the village and back.
We were expecting the odd flick knife and bottle of beer.
We were not expecting:
A starting pistol
Three flick knives
A two foot pile of porn mags
Eight bottles of spirits and assorted bottles of beer.
Fireworks
We reckoned that only three or four kids were responsible for the haul.
It pained us to pour the alcohol down the drain. We took the moral high ground and refused to pass it off as our own. Besides it would have elimited our own duty free allowances.
We tore up the mags and broke the other items.
The kids were well pi%%ed off when we were waved through the green channel back at Dover.
