    The place where you go at the international airport when you are changing flights without leaving the airport is called a Transom Lounge.

    it's at the opposite end of a boat from the mosnart.
    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

    Gentlepersons all, thankyou for your many and very varied replies.
    Mr Rogers gets the NOD for his very broad, very detailed and mostly boring answer.
    Mr G.Umby gets the NOD for making me laugh the loudest and Mr. Midge gets the Shake for the strangest reply.
    Well done all.
    Long live the Real Ralph, long may he quiz us all, Amen.
