They are charging £1 for a twopenny bag to carry liquids at Manchester Airport. The odious Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary is proposing the same charge if you want to spend a penny (to use a wholly inappropriate phrase) on one of his company’s flights. Don’t they love to make mugs of us!
In fact, I can’t join in the chorus of disapproval over Ryanair’s latest money-grabbing scheme. I would be delighted to see charging go ahead on every airline, provided there was a sliding scale of payments based on the length of people’s occupancy of the lavatory.
What do some people do in there? OK, let’s be sexist about it: what do some women do in there?
A full make-up session can only be part of it, for on some long-haul flights you can wait up to an hour for the loo to come free. Any guesses?
