Ryanair Airlines Wants To
Charge £1 Per Toilet Visit
Gives new meaning to the
word, LOOting
Art imitates life
In art, Shakespeare's, The
Merchant of Venice, describes a vengeful greedy creditor
who tries to exact a pound of flesh.
In life, there's Ryanair Airlines, which, under
certain circumstances, will seem to some to be trying, as well, to
exact a pound of flesh.
Wanting to firmly associate their reputation forever with toilets,
Ryanair Airlines, the budget airline, announced they are seriously
considering charging one pound sterling (now worth $1.42) for each
toilet visit. What could possibly go wrong?
What
if you don't have a pound coin?
What a stupid question! "I don't think there is anybody in
history that has got on board a Ryanair aircraft with less than a pound," says
Ryanair's chief executive Michael O'Leary. And if anyone
knows what money is in your pockets when you board their planes, it's
Ryanair.
"Charging
people to go to the toilet might result in fewer people
buying overpriced drinks on board, though - that would serve Ryanair
right," says Rochelle Turner who heads research at Which?
Holiday.
In the future, if
you fly Ryanair, you could possibly be one of those rare individuals
who get to experience two holding patterns at the same time.
