...should be banned. On the flight back from Hong Kong to London, a collection of about half a dozen small children conspired to cry, shout, wail and shriek nigh-on constantly. For twelve hours. :-(

I think it's incredibly selfish to take kids on planes when they're too young to understand what's going on, or to behave reliably. Children make noise, that's natural and expected. Forcing hundreds of other people around you to deal with that noise in an enclosed space for extended periods with no way to escape is just wrong, in my opinion.

As much as noisy children and babies annoy me too, remember that you and I were noisy and annoying once. How would you dictate that parents transport their children long distances -- by boat? By private train car?

BTW, Solar Queen is awesome. I wonder if she runs Linux ;-)
