Wonderful. On a flight back from Rome to London last year we were informed by the CC that "the weather for the entire flight is very bad I'm afraid, so the captain will be leaving the seatbelt sign on for the duration". Cue multiple and deep intoxication, nerve pills, etc.

The flight itself was really not bad at all. True, there was some high cloud that we had to skim along, but most pax don't mind the bumps when they can see what's causing them.

Bu the way, "broken cloud" often means extensive cloud cover as far as the eye can see, with one hole that the pilot presumably aims for when descending...
