I am sure that you have long been disabused of that fallacy. Some days I am persuaded that coarse, Ill bred bred behaviour is now the new norm. I would be surprised if a lot of them could spell “sophisticated “ let alone be it. I have no time for worrying where someone comes from, I have a ton of time for people who make something of themselves and who remain courteous and considerate.

I am indeed sorry that Mrs Crazy had to put up with this. I do not come from a council estate and was educated in a convent school and then the The Lycée Francais de Londres. I say this because the OP’s wife is clearly far more ladylike than me. If he touched my leg, I’d have kicked off. Thank God she is made of sterner stuff. Thank you crazy8534 for sharing. The crew were absolutely excellent. However, I am surprised that the police were not summoned to the aircraft.
