Markjoy says "But if I'm in front of you, reclining my seat, I'd rather you didn't complain to me."
Sorry mate if your in front of me your seat won't recline. My knees will stop it as they are wedged against your backrest. It has worked on the last 20 trips to and from Australia. I can't help my long legs. I never recline my seat as I find it a most uncomfortable position to be in.
