The unsuspecting TAROM forum fitted the bill perfectly, and it briefly flourished as the pinkest, campest, most frivolous place on all of FT (with the odd off-colour joke about service levels in 'Ceausescu class' so we could pretend we were on topic). Strange but fun times!
Now that is a fun story and bit of FT history that cheered up my morning reading it as somehow I could perfectly picture it all. Thanks for sharing!

There is always a first for everything - although you don't really miss that much by not flying them! (especially in business class, in economy I still think the product is better than most other European airlines nowadays but I would still not go out of my way for a beer and mediocre meal in Y
)
