Once again the ugly side of Brit holidaymakers rears its ugly head as 2 more are sentenced to a month in jail, pay restitution each of $100,000 and end up being deported from Canada even though they weren't supposed to be visiting Canada.

Seriously what is it with some that they feel they have to get legless when flying?

It'z coz they on holiday innit, so it's their f**king right to get plastered innit, f**k anyone else, it's my holiday innit! It's free booze on the plane innit, so they can't cut me off, how dare they, the ******s!

Something tells me that this level of drunkenness is not an exception, but the norm for them. They probably don't notice that people tend to keep away from them when on the ground when they are like this, but on a plane, you cannot do that.

They sound like a couple of spies setting up their undercover story.

Don't know each other? Flying London to Mexico. No friends with them - one would think that would get a mention - trying to get them to behave.

So my wild imagination tells me that they are both agents of one of the security services, trying to establish their 'legends' so as to help their undercover work.

Spending time in Prison will help them to gain the confidence of their targets.

Bet they wish the plane had landed in the US, good chance of no charges, and just sent back to the UK.

People often drink the same way in the air as they would on the ground, except alcohol has different effects on our body at a high altitude, as in you cannot drink the same amount as you would on the ground, and need to drink less, really airlines should just limit passengers drinking better as well, often flight attendants just keep on serving.

A guess some time in a Canadian jail is still a bit of a vacation, but sucks to have that criminal charge on your record, not sure how it works in the UK, but could affect things like employment in Canada and the US, even minor charges. Surprised how fast the criminal justice system can work when it wants to...ha ha Usually reports are about how slow and backed up the courts are.

Don't piss around on a plane when flying over Canada.
