A woman came through Britain on the way to the states, for a prolonged holiday, but had to change planes here. The Customs and Excise (Immigration) noticed that all was not as it seemed so retained her for questioning. It transpired that she was passed the date where she should fly and the Customs were aware of your clause 14 so they had a word with the American Embassy who requested that she didn't proceed. She was turned around and put on a flight back home. -- Clive
