First time on low cost

Ryanair ;Stanstead - Poznan out Thurs, back yesterday.
I didn't really know what to expect, having been on flights where you have a seat allocated.
What I didn't expect was the 'Guess the Gate' game they have at Stanstead. Get in a queue where you are told to be, wait for about half the flight to be waiting, announce a change and watch the passengers run! When I heard similar gate changes being announced after I returned, I presumed this must be a regular occurence.
Also the strange phenomena of passengers appearing out of nowhere when a check in is opened! They come out of the cracks!
We took off on time, landed on time and ditto for the return journey. CC were polite and busy.
I will try to avoid low cost travel in future; don't like paying for refreshments, fiddling with raffle tickets and the continual sales patter.
I think I must have been spoilt.
Regards
Hazel
