Re: @anothercynic
Unless you refer to the penalty box as the grotty room (with a one-way mirror) behind the door behind the entry desks, no, believe me, the back rooms are no better... What you look like doesn't really matter. You're all stuck on bad airport seating in an airless, beige room with crap neon lighting, no power and certainly no mobile signal (and warnings that mobiles are to be kept switched off) until it's finally time for you to be spoken to by a dour-faced Border Agency official trying to establish whether you're there to steal someone's job and enrich yourself on the benefits system, or whether you're really just there for 3 days for a series of meetings.
