On a flight last year from LHR-BRU on a Sunday afternoon, I sat behind Glenys and Neil Kinnock. Didn't realise that I was sitting behind them until we came to get off the little Fokker of an aircraft and he couldn't get his oversized "carry-on" out of the overhead bin. The nice lady from bmi in her everso fetching gloves and hat tried for him, at which point he started to curse away in his Welsh tones - something about the plane size being "bloody ridiculous". Glenys dived in to apologise on his behalf whereupon they were whisked away through a door on the jetty and down into a VIP car to take them off into Brussels city. Can't really say he's a nice guy given his language but he ain't half short!
