Ahh, the delights of 'wobble-pumping' the de-min water, so you could make it back non-stop to the UK from some far-flung destinations such as Menorca. I used to watch this quaint ritual from the air-conditioned comfort of my 737-200 flight deck, laddie! All good character-building stuff, no doubt, but I consider my character to have already been 'built' by flying the previous generation of British airliners. Wot a pity they didn't offer the One-Eleven with P&W JT8Ds, slightly less 'machined from the solid' and with a slightly less complicated hydraulic/flying control system: all that switching on and off and pushing and pulling, God, the bog mindles. Hmmm...seems we've just invented...the McDonnell Douglas DC-9!!
