It seems the people who refused to move had people they wanted/needed to sit
near.

I assume for business purposes because if it was a married couple there
wouldn't have been a problem.

Of course if the Qatari royalty had booked seats in 'first' for their
servants as well as themselves they'd have had enough seats to swap around.

Still, can't have the help up there with the quality can you...

Mind you, for an hour and a half flight...

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.

Of course the *best* compensation would be not having to sit adjacent to
some stinking muzlime...

Not everybody lives in a police state?
