lovely post Bealzy,
I well remember a roadshow by the Irish company where the man giving the presentation started with "We're a low fare airline, but who pays the most to fly with us?" pause for effect....... "Who pays the most? why the pilots!" silence.....
If people want to pay for the best view, then there are those who will gladly take the money.
BTW Bealzy, it's Thomson, not Thompson, no "p".
