A quick thank you (Ryanair)

You misunderstand me Nobbie, exactly because it was a family of four I spotted who had claimed the three seats in the row across the aisle from me once I was safely onboard and out of the clutches of the handbaggage police with my overweight overdimensioned bag, I realised my aisle seat was the best seat possible for the concerned seatless Dad.

About the flight departing on time ... it didn't actually, but with a tail wind and Ryanair's generous trip times it did land within 5 minutes of the allocated arrival time and we got the blessed yet another trumpet fanfare

Really not sure what happened to family #1 with the 8kg bag, and heresay command of the Ts&Cs. Still feel a bit sorry that they were clearly picked upon.

As for safety concerns well I keep my eyes peeled and I notice we seem to have quite a crop of girlies on the Ryanar flightdecks at the moment so I am sure they are ruling the roosts - even saw one slip of lass kicking the tyres! Was however slightly concerned to find that the return flight was:
(a) very definitely late
(b) 3/4 cabin crewed by our friends the singing Poles at least one of who seemed to have a rather limited command of English and started each sentence with "I have a question" as in "I have a question ... BRACE BRACE BRACE!!!" to which the polite response might not be "I beg your pardon - I did not quite catch that"
(c) not the originally rostered aircraft
(d) less than perfectly turned out with at least one rear toilet labelled "INOP" which language is of course aviation jargon between engineers and pilots to mean the same as "OUT OF ORDER" in punter-speak
(e) devoid of food or drink for sale due to the last minute change of aircraft.
Al of which suggests to me that it was drummed into service that day with a deliberate decision made that they could use it for a whole day with a toilet out of action.


I say though, Nobs, that Bobbie does gad about, eh what?

I bow to your superior knowledge, old bean, because it's quite clear you travel on Ryanair far more than I do and I do a fair bit.

Two more satisfied customers and Ryanair just banked another €452 million profit.

Happy days.

Excuse me! I don't gad about I just avoid dismal Britain.
Anyway. My next Flight is with Kingfisher so the hem-lines go up big time
