Absolutely hilarious listening to boarding this evening. Anyone who has more than one bag gets told ‘one bag in the overhead bin, everything else under the seat’ . I don’t think I’ve heard exactly the same response twice but generally it’s yes, or OK or similar.

One guy just came on board with three bags, received the same instructions, and responded “I try” he received a very yoda “don’t try, do” which left me chuckling.

20:52 and the throngs have reduced to a laggardly dribble of passengers but no sign of the dispatcher yet. Captain is off the flight deck and watching the parade.
