"Find it very strange that that certain LH airline in the UK doesnt permit its cabin crew to close doors from the inside under normal ops! its a good thing to be comfortable doing - incase that awful day where u actually neeed to open it quickly comes!"

Which LH airline is that? Assuming there are only two, I didn't think either of them applied that rule?

As for cabin crew opening doors from outside...Health and Safety legislation doesn't really permit this to happen, hence most airlines changes to policy over the last 5 years or so.
