Dave_C if he'd spoken to you like that in my presence I'm ashamed to say I'd have belted him.

This really annoys me, too. Not the choice of newspaper but the annexation of shared space without reference to anyone else. I called someone on this once and he said "It is my [blocked middle] seat because I am a Gold card holder." Never occured to him that I might also be a Gold card holder! I never use shared space without asking, even if it is "my" blocked seat.

"Money buys priviledge but courtesy costs f*** all," as a BD manager once said to me.
