A few years ago a rumour was launched that FR were about to take the seats out and fly with passengers standing up as they could get PX more in that way (yes, I know, ha-ha).
But coming back from Charleroi to Girona last week (nice landing, skipper !) on those uncomfortable dead-upright FR seats I thought that frankly I WOULD rather stand for two hours than sit.
Thousands do it every day on whatever British Rail is called these days, or so I'm told.....
