Related Incident
A funny thing happened a few years ago.
The London based Cabin Crew and Ground Ops staff were all well known to one another. Many of the Ground Ops staff frequently travelled home and it was quite normal for these folks to be handed a small bag of goodies (minatures) as they got off from the friendly Cabin Crew. One day one of the senior ops guys made a joke about the fact that he had only being given 2 small bottles of wine....well below the norm. Anyway the next time he flew back into London the crew handed him a bag so full that he nearly did himself a mischief carrying the swag to the landside office. Upon arrival he bragged about the contents at which point he opened up the bag. It contained 20 empty snipes of Champagne. The look on his face still makes me laugh.
