Good point.

One young woman passenger, I won't say lady, seemed well oiled when she eventually took her seat, and after many warnings eventually turned off her mobile phone and cut her loud, riveting conversation short. The rest of the journey she was served many drinks (8) by the flight crew, the last one being given to her after she pressed the emergency bell as we prepared to land, when we should have had our seat belts on, chairs in an upright position and tables folded away.

The airline was Fly Jet. If you ever get the chance not to fly with them don't. Besides they had the most uncomfortable airline seats I've ever sat in.
