Les, I don't remember the announcement, it was back in 1990, we flew from Akrotiri on a C130 to Brize then jumpsed on the VC10.
One thing I do remember about that flight was it is the ONLY Air Force flight that serves alcohol on board. so we decided to give it a thrashing, it also had WAAF trolly dollies aswell
on the way back we remembered that alcohol was allowed on board so we bought a couple of crates of Miller and stashed it in our hand luggage, we where busy supping away on the way home before we got caught by a steward who told us yes you can drink on board but not your own
we apologised and then carried on drinking

As far as they were concerned they were to be referred to as "CREW" You'd have got short shrift I can assure you. Most of them could drink most of the stewards under the table too. Frightening!We used to bring merchant seamen home from Ascension too, and they were always pissed! We used to let them on if they could get up the steps! One bloke who was very unsteady dropped his duty free bottles from the NAAFI on the tarmac and smashed them. He then spent 10 minutes trying to scoop it all up into the plastic bag to take home.

Ive been the only person in first class before on AA, and one of only 2 in business class on the upper deck on BA on one of my flights not long ago.. (both paid for- not upgrades) dont think the crew were too happy about it either 
This was obviously done for aircraft positioning reasons- nothing out of the ordinary- hapens all the time .
I can beat that in terms of nuts schedules...
