It stings like buggery!!
Ps - burgers don't belong on buses, taxis, trains (unless its the last one out of Liverpool St after a skinful!) or any other enclosed public place.....

and so couldn't sleep they of course had no problem I can't believe that they were allowed to bring it onto the flight in the first place!

Saying that they were the nicest crew I flew with so maybe that's how the stupid curry people got away with it!
