Worst Turbulence Ever -Not

Was flying Liverpool - Limoges with Ryanair Summer 08 - beautiful day for flying, not a cloud in the sky, the aeroplane jsut sat there like a baby. Just going out over the Isle of Wight when "bong" the seatbelt sign came on. " Ladies and Gentlemen the captain has turned the seatbelt sign on, please return to your seats". One minute later the cockpit door opened, the man with three gold bars on his shoulder jumped in the loo. He obviously did what he had to do, opened the loo door and returned to his seat up front. Just as the cockpit door closed "bong" out went the sign. Worst turbulence I never encountered.

If you really like it bumpy try flying South Island New Zealand in an ATR 72 into somewhere like Queenstown when there's a roaring Nor'Wester blowing over the Southern Alps.
