[Travel] Very expensive phone call

[thedonkeycentrehalf]

Flying back from working in Manchester tonight, I was sat at the front of the plane with my noise cancelling headphones on. We taxied our fine but then I noticed we seemed to be heading back to the terminal. The captain then makes a speech about doing what cabin crew tell you and that someone was being removed from the flight.

I thought it might be someone who was drunk but it turned out that some woman was using her phone during the taxi and refused to finish her call so the crew had to stop the take off. It was only a smallish plane and she was sat in a window seat. It took four armed police 20 minutes to get her off the plane and she was still fighting them as she was being taken back into the terminal.

Crew say she will be charged with endangering an aircraft and also resisting arrest. That will be a very expensive phone call.

People can be so weird and precious about rules.

What a ****ing melt. A year in Guantanamo Bay would be right and proper.

Not as expensive as the calls I used to make at £1.50 a minute that terminated in Guyana.

The Seagull Line on Brighton 8049 wasn’t cheap either - the number of 10p coins I wasted on finding out we’d lost to some team like Oldham, away, on a Tuesday night.

The flight attendants worst nightmare.

The days of ClubCall and finding out the news before mobile phones. Ah, life was simpler.

I had some eye watering dialup internet bills in the early days.

Couldn't you or she have got the train?

Grab her by the balls and hang her upside down by them

TBF I don't think that was a premium number, even though it was a short one.

Is that what you do with all your women

You’re probably right, but it was the sheer angst of wanting to know how the team did. There was literally no other means of finding out the score until you looked at the next morning’s papers. You’d put your 10p in the slot - I had to use public phone boxes as I was working away from home - and the dulcet tones of Ron Pavey (?) would come through. You could immediately guess how the Albion did by his tone. Funeral monotone - we lost, matter of fact - we drew, orgasmic yelp - we won.

Life is different now.

While she should obviously have stopped when asked it is an utter fallacy that mobile phones have any affect on the operation of an aircraft.

True.....my neighbour works for the CAA and has been heavily involved in the research (and the approval of in-flight wifi). However the captain has total authority over the plane, crew and passengers but is also liable for any breaches of aircraft safety, so not doing as instructed is always going to end badly. Daft bint.

Ron Pavey never did the Seagull Line - it was Tony Millard.

I can’t think of anything worse than sitting next to someone gas bagging on their phone for a whole flight. It’s bad enough on buses and trains.

When phone user Sharon Arkwright takes her case through the courts, she can bring in technical experts as witnesses.
