They then called rows 13 to 27, I sat and waited, thinking row 27 must be the rear and they were boarding in reverse. Then they called "everyone else" - cue large scrum - didn't fancy my chances, continued waiting.

Needless to say, when I arrived at my seat, probably one of the last 3 or 4 pasengers to board, the space in the overhead locker had gone. There was something stuffed below my seat from the passenger seated behind, and the bulkhead in front, so laptop bag headed off to row 8 with FA.

Cue another fight as I tried to retrieve it 50 minutes later against the flow/push of everyone leaving. Oh well...
