5d - You get it when you check in (8,4)

I put Boarding Pass and it came up wrong - apparently the answer is Boarding Card!

I've never heard it called that before, has anyone else?

Brendan, Chambers has both - but, like 99% of the population (and most of the airlines), I use 'pass'.

Thanks Malone, I thought I was losing my mind! Never in my entire life have I heard it called anything other than a boarding pass.

I think it was probably used more when the boarding 'piece of paper' was actually a piece of card - I remember those! I think they had a perforated bit, that was torn off at the departure gate.

I'm sure you're right Malone and I dare day I overreacted. I'm looking after my friend's dog while he's in hospital but having a devil of a time getting him to eat regular dog food and think I allowed my frustrations to boil over 🤬 I've tried grating extra mature cheddar on top of it, which worked last time I looked after him, but it seems his palette has since become more refined. I ended up giving him a grilled bacon and cheese sandwich and he devoured it but, not being a dog owner, I'm never sure what they can and can't eat... What a pickle I'm in 🫣 Hmmm ... pickles 🤔

Avoid too much bread, Brendan. You could cut a few raw vegetables in with the meat, to make it go further. Carrots, broccoli are good (not onions).
Definitely avoid chocolate, nuts and raisins.
Good luck!

Thanks Jono, I'll keep that in mind. I've just returned from giving him his second walk of the day... and it's not even 11 O' Clock!!
