Sympathy

I must admit I have some sympathy with Korrol - I fly a lot with the Low Cost Carriers and you are bombarded with anouncements:
  • buy our alcoholic shots
  • buy our scratch cards
  • buy our train tickets
  • buy our imitation cigarettes
  • coming through the cabin with duty free
  • coming through the cabin with food and drink
  • coming through the cabin with rubbish collection
It goes on and on ..... and then Tarrrraaaaaahhhhhh - we have arrived ahead of schedule......

I now plug my headphones into the IPOD after the safety briefing and keep my seat belt fastened and my eyes closed.

As an aside - a few years ago I flew from Stansted to Manchester on Air Berlin - the safety announcement was in German and not repeated in English. Now I know this was a German carrier buy it was on a UK domestic route - was this Legal?
