And I just wondered why someone would pay £5,000 or more for a flat bed when a parent's inability to stop their child from screaming puts the mockers on sleeping.

I don't object to having children in J or F. I don't object to a little crying, I realise that young kids do cry. But I do object to selfish parents who allow their kids to make so much noise that every other person in the cabin is disturbed for most of the flight.
