You've all missed the point as usual and got on your high horses for not reading the question...
I asked if the bell can be heard in the cabin and if she was just trying to fob me off with an excuse. Remember it was their mistake that made me ring it in the first place... I didn't do anything wrong!!!!!!!
I KNOW how much you all hate the call button so I NEVER ring it unless I absolutely have to (although I could if I wanted to
)- I will always go to the galley to get a drink so as to prevent the ''oooh I fancy a drink too'' wave that goes round the cabin at 3am on a night flight.
