No, we went to see a feel good movie at the local cinema where
practically a whole 'rebel' family is wiped out by Mexican soliders. It
was in black and white though- at least that cheered me up.

So you were in the sort of first class section on a low-cost airline.

No they eventually got an address of a relative out of him to pay the fare and
arranged a full fare single to UK and transport to Schiphol airport.
I was next in the queue waiting for my new passport. I suggested they put him on
the "Magic Bus" which was a tenner to UK in those days, I was asked not to
interfere.
