On the phone in Connie asks - do we take food allergies seriously enough?

On the phone in Connie asks - do we take food allergies seriously enough? Also on the show, TV debates, darts and the dos and don'ts of getting a kilt.

PHONE-IN
A freelance BBC weather presenter says she was kicked off a flight from London Gatwick to Turkey after asking passengers not to eat peanuts. Georgie Palmer, 49, says she and her family were escorted off the SunExpress flight to Dalaman on 21 May, after making the request due to her daughter's allergy. Posting on social media, she said the SunExpress crew ignored her requests to do an announcement to all passengers - so she instead spoke to people around her on the flight. SunExpress said it takes the safety of passengers seriously, but said the airline refrains from making announcements like the one Ms Palmer requested as it 'cannot guarantee an allergen-free environment'.
