American Costumers To Invade London

British Airways imports American costumers to help shock London sensibilities

British Airways is currently in the midst of a nation (USA) wide tour of Concorde. As part of this tour they are sponsoring a "Space Traveler Contest" in which contestants are asked to "come dressed as their favorite space traveler". In each city, 27 stops in all, they are giving out 50 pairs of round trip tickets to London.

Once the word hit the nets, International Costumer Guild members have been doing very well, in some cases winning 20% or more of the available prizes in a given city. As the tickets must be used between October 15th and May 15th, London fans should expect over the next eight months a higher influx of costumers from the USA haunting the fabric stores and other sewing shops than might otherwise be expected.
