Obviously, BahrainLad is not particularly pleased with this and so gets up, walks over, plucks handset from man's hand, throws it down the aisle and says in best safari-suit accent, "Don't use your phone in the cinema."

Was reading somewhere this morning that a pax in Saudi Arabia was sentenced to 20 lashes for answering a call during a flight. Maybe BA could sentence people to 20 hairbrushings....
