Default Flybe

On a recent flight to Paris the steward was on the mic doing the usual safety drill and 'thanks for flying with us' lark in an RP type accent.

Then later I heard him talking alone to the stewardess in a scouse accent and she was scouse too. She hadn't sounded scouse eariler either lol.

Nothing wrong with a scouse accent of course but this slight of hand left me feeling like I'd been conned or something, it was a bit unsettling. Did Flybe expect me to be prejudiced against scousers? Why the deception?

It was so you wouldn't blame them when your hand luggage went missing.

Or something.

We should be more concerned about the deception the government has perpetrated by using our tax money to subsidize BTL landlords.

No offence, but why did you put your watch in your case?

Flew EasyJet last week.Pay the usual ridiculous price for a lemonade but they had no ice on board!!!.
Their attitude was that it was not their problem & you can take it or leave it.
