Great news just got my case back today at 1pm:D . Its very weird as I had just been on the phone to the baggage people in Glasgow an hour before hand who told me that they had not recived it in the flight yesterday from Athens.............hour later, knock at the door and here's your case. I suppose Almeras' post shed some light on the complexities of air baggage travel, funny thing is i'd imagined that the tag had been ripped of but it still had the original tag on it. Anyway no complaints here as ii'm delighted.

Reading Steve's post has highlighted how I'm still entitled too some form of coompensation. I'll pursue this as I have had to replace loads of stuff whilst on my hols, e.g flipflops, sandals, toiletries and underwear.

Thanks again to everyone who posted a reply and kept very positive. I honestly thought i'd seen the last of my case.
