The world is a little but in awe of team Great Britain who pulled in the greatest Olympic medal haul since 1908.
Their stealth, talent and determination is admirable.
Their common sense, however is lacking.
While we praised them for the unity with their light up shoes at the closing ceremony, one place where conformity has not been their friend is in the baggage collection at the airport. It seems it has just dawned on them that getting home, might take a bit more time.
The athletes took to Twitter to share their horrors yesterday at trying to reclaim their red bags.
Baggage collection could be interesting. #samesame #greattobeBAck pic.twitter.com/2ujPkLxmL1

Not the best idea…Every British Olympian had the same red bag. Baggage claim chaos ensued: https://t.co/kgCf2PZwkJ pic.twitter.com/99hRpaRzn0
