This is a great thread
I have been a visitor to Prune for ages and just signed up tonight. I work for a large Gulf airline, and although i am not cabin crew, I heave heard some real great stories from our crews who come from all walks of life:-
Some highlights:-
The Pope
Just for the sheer magnificence of it and cannot be compared to ANY other celebrity anywhere, anytime.
Margaret Thatcher
Surprisingly civil
Prince Edward and Sophie Wessex
He is quiet and pleasant. She was a bit loud and appeared bossy.
Princess Diana
Sheer beauty and sincerity personified
Tina Turner
She is the Queen........and surprisingly smaller than you would think.
Kylie Minogue and Michael Hutchence
Quiet couple who were obviously in love.
Helen Worth (Gail Platt from "Coronation Street")
Tiny but very bubbly and just like Gail!!
Jan Leeming
BBC News lady from years ago - a total snob!!
Ronnie Corbett
Nice fellow but with a very loud voice that was painful after a while.
Derek Jameson (BBC Radio guy)
Grumpy and arrogant. And his wife - aka Cruella de Vil
John McEnroe
As someone said above, sursrisingly nice and affable
Shahnaz Pakravan (Dubai TV)
Lovely lady and didn't squeak once on board
Keith Harris (& Orville - only this time, without)
A bit cocky and full of celeb status s**t
Barry McGuigan
Former boxer. Just like a little boy who giggled all the way through the flight.
Liz Smith (Brits will know her as Nana from The Royle Family)
Absolutely hilarious and questioned us on the material of the uniforms and asked if they were itchy....spoke about varicose veins, food, cooking, aphrodisiacs......a really, really lovely lady, and quite bulky too!!!
but, our former Alitalia members still say Pope was the most unique.
Guess it's easy to understand why.
