I refused to sit under it, just in case of turbulence .

I must have been troubled sleeping, because I woke up screaming. Well you have never seen a purser move into the cabin so fast. I thought I was being attacked and someone had thrown snakes over me. The looks I received from the other passengers was hardly understanding. I apologised of course and soon we all settled back down.

Fortunately back at LHR all said pieces of the service were intact. It's lovely too and we tend to use it in the garden at our country house.
A rather different version of Snakes On a Plane! Was Samuel L Jackson in your dream too?

Speaking of whom, someone forwarded me this video with Samuel L Jackson reading a story. It raised a smile: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGDm45niITI

So you potentially gave 3 x 23kg bags in a locker rated at 32kg.

Can that be right?

Late on parade, but that was my question as well.

I don't want to be sat underneath a 32kg-rated locker containing [potentially] 69kg.

Any CC here care to elaborate?
