The Real Terminal

Remember that film from last year, The Terminal? Well, have a look at this!

A man who has been living in Nairobi's international airport for a year has been told his application for full British citizenship has been approved.

Sanjay Shah, holder of a UK overseas citizen passport, has spent the past 13 months living in the duty free section of the Jomo Kenyatta airport.

He said he was protesting at the refusal of the British government to give him full citizenship.

Maybe the Nairobi airport is nicer than the rest of Nairobi, but I sure wouldn't want to spend more than a year living in the Duty Free section. I didn't even particularly enjoy the Duty Free section at Gatwick or Heathrow!
