That's been around for ages, but it's a brilliant sketch!Well that's spot on !!
The only problem is that that's the First Class service. Thomson cabin is more like:
"D'ya want owt?"
"Please may I have red wine?"
"Are you a pouf?"
"No."
"Have a can of Stella and three vodkas, then, like everybody else."
"But I'd like a red wine."
"Did you fill in your 194 page questionnaire designed-for-idiots survey?"
"Yes."
"Give it here. (READS) What's this? Only two stars for service on't aircraft? You've got the best-looking air crew in Yorkshire - including Roger who, to be fair, uses more perfume and make-up than a Turkish whore. TWO STARS? - Would you like a quicky in't toilets at back of t'plane?"
"No thanks."
"I knew you were a pouf."
"I don't think drinking wine is a reliable indicator of sexual preference."
"Ooooh - Get you, Mr Big Words and Tiny Dick. You're not from Donny, are you?"
"Actually, I was born in Leeds."
"Leeds. LEEDS? Leeds is to Donny like Beirut is to New York.Have you flown out of Leeds-Bradford airport on that Jet One and a Half? T'bloody runway's got a sudden hill on it and the plane's usually stuffed full of Marstons salesmen getting a bit above themselves."
"Do you know Gavin?"
"Course I do. He's another twatt. Now put your tray down unless you want a Stella and three vodkas in your lap."
So....with Monarch ceasing to fly to SS from Gatwick and it being my preferred airline, last year we flew with Thomson which was fine.Another alternative is using British Airways @ Heathrow - it's 50 mins by car from Gatwick if that suits, and cheaper - check their website.
We go indy every year so we only need flights anyway.
However this year we are going for 3 weeks instead of 2 and Thomson refused to quote for 3 weeks which I found to be totally ridiculous.
In addition to this, we are flying home the August bank holiday weekend so flights with Easyjet, Thomas Cook etc are all sky high (over £350 one way....)
So I thought outside the box and decided to fly back with a non UK airline to mitigate the BH price increase. Soooo we are going outbound with Easyjet for £130 and returning with Norwegian Air for £170.
Well happy and have saved almost £600 for the 3 of us......
Love it when a plan comes together....
One of my favourites.Very funny - well spotted.

I appeal to the jury. I have not been emotional, Tony - you have. I've tried to bring a few facts and some logic to the argument.Well I'm not shouting, Jim, & don't really want to comment further as I said, so lets move on I think we're both tired of it
If you don't believe there is a mismatch between funding between the north and the south you really should spend a bit of time doing your homework.
I, too, am tired of this argument. In the face of logic the religious and the passionately nationalist always resort to shouting. I have not shouted. I calmly ask the question "What will be the benefit for my children or grandchildren if we leave the EU at this point?" Silence.
Not utopia Tonyco1, just trying to point out that things are not always as bad as reported. Jumbo is right. We should be thinking about our grandchildren.Well I do think of my Grandchildren, but maybe I see it differently to you, I think if we leave we can prosper which may take a few years but we'll see what happens.
Well Tonyco1, if I base my decision on "as I find".Sounds like utopia - I wish I could ... Good Luck to you !!
I can call my surgery early in the morning and get an appointment on the same day.
I can also book on line, useful for non urgent consultations.
On a recent visit to A&E, we were admitted,injury assessed, X Ray taken, plaster applied all within 90 minutes. We left the hospital with a follow up appointment for the following week. The visit was on a Saturday morning.
My grandchildren all attend highly rated schools within walking distance of their home.
Having had to call the police last year, they responded within 45 minutes, were helpful, and provided follow up services.
I will not go on, because I will not be basing my decision on "what I see". I will base it on the economic future. It is the only way to decide.
Absolutely spot on Tony,your observations reflect the situation I find here in my native North East,I will defer posting my tuppence worth as you have nailed it so eloquently,when you stand for election representing the culturally challenged party,you've got my vote.HaHaHa - nice one - - - especially the bit "when you stand for election representing the culturally challenged party" that made me chuckle.... .
Office For National Statistics, summary July 2015:The Mirror, Morning Star, London Evening News, Guardian, (Not so) Independent, and a few other rags, also have a duty to report & to be as accurate and objective as possible and not just make it up as it goes along - - also - but they don't either.
Crime in Hounslow is slightly down over the last year. Hull's crime rate is above average - but Hull has a very small immigrant population, so it's impossible to point the finger at immigrants when looking for causes. London has the highest crime rate per capita, as one might expect.
It's not about Right or Left - as the newspaper with the largest circulation in the UK, the Mail has a duty to be as accurate and objective as possible and not just make it up as it goes along.
