Many thanks for your replies all of which make perfect sense , in hinde sight i think the captains decision to give the details that he did the correct one even though it meant the circulation being cut off to my left arm on take off and landing and during the slight turbulence whilst flying (the girlfriend was sat that side
) a cabin full of chinese whispers could be even more off putting ,
Just to add the landing at manchester was one of the smoothest i have experienced , hardly noticed the touch down so
