I was sort of stunned for a minute but it was exactly the right answer as no doubt several other people could have asked the same question and what would he have done then?

So I was on a flight a while back and the passenger had both Gucci's (?) planted on the bulkhead.
Pre-flight, the Captain does a stroll through the premium cabin and on his back to the cockpit, he stops short at row 1.
Capt: Comfortable?
Pax: Uh huh
Capt: You find it acceptable if someone comes into your office and puts their feet up on your wall like that? This is my crew's and my place of work. Would you mind affording us the same level of courtesy you would expect from visitors to your place of work? Thanks.
Feet stayed on the floor for the entire flight.

A little bit related but may I say we're really very lucky on the BA Board to not only have some extremely knowledgeable and contributive posters on here but also BA, ATC and other staff (such as Alex the engineer!) on here who advise, help and explain things on many a subject, sometimes even on things like this.
Why are there delays in fog?
SO, a general announcement from me and a hat tip to say to ALL of you who are on here contributing and I include both past and present.

So you read that without the accompanying photo and what do you envision? A reasonable comment.
As it is, with that picture, that's significantly overstated just to make your point. It's more a picture of a shoe, but that doesn't really jibe with the rest of the comment.
imho, of course.
