The 'script' used by flight attendants (or are they called stewards/stewardesses?) is crap. Serving up the standard bollocks via the noisy speakers, the staff highlight two major issues.
The first is the content; there is no real sense of interest behind the announcements. Brainwashed cabin staff apparently hope that all is well with our 'onward journey' - what exactly does onward have to do with anything? We are hardly going to go backwards, all of a sudden!
The second issue is the style of delivery, for useless messages. The pitch of the woman talking shite last week was horrendous. She started too high, and got higher. Come Fly With Me sprang to mind! If there were any people on board who thought they were deaf, the woman on last week's BMI Baby flight to Malaga would have cured them with her piercing drivel.
I thought the price of water at Birmingham Airport (WH Smith) was awful, recently. £1.75 for 750ml meant that it was close to twice the price of petrol. However, I was much more amazed at the cost of Pepsi on board the BMI flight. £1.60 for 250ml - that's right, £6.40 per litre! So, 5 times the price of petrol! Would you seriously buy a 2-litre bottle of Pepsi from a supermarket if at the end of an aisle, you saw it displayed at £12.80? I think not. Thieving cunts.
