I flew a couple of days ago, in EuroTraveller, on a 100% packed flight between London and Berlin. The two members of the cabin crew serving drinks and snacks to ET passengers spent the entire time chatting about the forthcoming changes to on-board catering and left us in no doubt what their views were.
"Roll on the 11th. No more of this"
"Can't wait. There'll be almost nothing to do"
"No-one's going to pay that much for a sandwich"
"It's going to be heaven, not having to push this thing up and down"
"Only a few days to go, thank god"
"How many more rows do we have to do? Oh, god, next week can't come quick enough"
"Here we go, sir. That's probably the last one you'll be getting for nothing"
And so it went on, until the (lovely) ladies were out of earshot.
Now, I have no doubt that serving 180 passengers on a 90-minute flight is incredibly hard work, and I appreciated the entertainment (Pam Ann could have gleaned enough material for a whole new show), but there is a faint possibility that their conversation across the trolley was a tad inappropriate.
