Am I being pedantic or is this a bit to relaxed.
I flew PE LHR-SIN 13 hrs - All drinks were self pour. This does speed up the service and allows you to decide the strength. I got 2 miniatures and and 2 cans - too strong for me so one bottle came home!
Re the tie -
BURN THEM! BURN THEM ALL!! Probably the most useless piece of clothing around. You might guess, correctly. that I despise them and don't see the need for them in a modern world. Thankfully no company I worked in for the past 20+ years requires them. The last company that did, a very old bank I worked at, wouldn't even let us take them off when the inefficient air-con couldn't cope with a summer heat spurt.
We need to move on from the past in many ways and ties in uniforms are part of that. Get rid of them!
