We had a recent doucmentary entitled "One Mile High" presented and narrated by ex and serving airline cabin staff that covered all the shenannigans that staff and passengers get up to on long flights. This was one of them.

They also covered every aspect of, shall we say, THE one mile high club, and how to be successful without embarrassment eg, do not back your partner onto the low-set attendant bell push or the bog flush; especially the latter as people had been literally sucked into the pan and suffered injury.

Also you note the staff have complete control of your well being, for extremely awkward and bombastic passengers, just two of the issued eye drops they all need to carry, because of the dry environment, is undetectable in any drink but will have you in and out of the bog interminably for 24hrs with a severe case of the trots/Dehli belly/Montezuma's revenge or crop-spraying for our Oz chums.

Now, perhaps Mr McSpool can expand on this, since he does have a senior cabin staff partner. . . . . . . . .

Esteemed Mr. MLU SITREP:
After only four beers en route home here, and sparrow-like solid food intake, we kept him up until past 24:00 local with harder liquor and now Mr. "I'll be up before you at 06:00" is soundly away in the land of nod at 07:30 local.

His uniform is prepared for the memorial re-dedication later today of the 21st AG "King's Stone" when he salutes for us before the rep of HM Queen, the Dep. Lord Lt. of Hampshire, Rear Admiral D. Bawtree and the rep of the Canadian High Commissioner to England, Maj. J-C. Boisvert.

I would hope to post a piccy later, we have hidden the transported store of hard stuff temporarily.
