I recently flew to Male with BA and just prior to landing I desperately needed a tinkle. I know that I should have thought about it earlier but that's just the serendipity of life I suppose. Reaching the lavatory door I was met with a female cabin crew member who said, "You'd better make it quick Mr Parr!"
Talk about off putting! Needless to say I made it back to my seat long before we landed but not before reciting phrases like "Niagara Falls" in my head.

Surely the lady in the toilet would have to have been there for a very long time if the plane was rolling for take off? I mean it's normally a good ten minutes on average from pushback to airborne at quieter airports and can be much more at major hubs like AMS.
I would like to bet that she nipped in when nobody was looking and chanced her arm.

Because it's the daily mail, the most sexist paper going.
Because the typical Daily Mail reader isn't interested in news, just tittle tattle, hence the website is full of headlines like
"Girl plays football"
"Woman does NOT wear bikini"
"Man wears jacket at the airport"
"Two-year old girl wears clothes"
"Woman wears sunglasses"
"Man has beard and lunch"
The daily mail does not employ journalists, it employs people who can sell newspapers by appealing to the banality and outrage that the average person wants.
and what relevance is it that she had dark hair?
"Girl plays football"
"Woman does NOT wear bikini"
"Man wears jacket at the airport"
"Two-year old girl wears clothes"
"Woman wears sunglasses"
"Man has beard and lunch"
I'm a guy BTW but find it very interesting how journalists treat men and women differently

I am not so sure it was sexiest, just factual.
I have to say, I am enjoying the pics of Jaimie Alexander. I don't know who she is, but never mind.

Yes the title had me thinking she had been left on board all alone due to her not being able to unlock the toilet door. The actual story turned out to be disappointing.

[willing Frank van der Post to question YET AGAIN why the DM is distributed for the greater passenger experience when its BA take is so abysmal, amongst its other views]
