    "Please remain seated until the aircraft has come to a complete stop." Could someone tell me what an incomplete stop is?

    One where the plane stops for a moment and then starts again. I.e. a complete stop is when it reaches the terminal rather than when it pauses to cross a runway.

    As quoted in another thread by someone else people who get up before the plane reaches the terminal and start getting their hand luggage should be shot or alternatively made to stand on the wings for their next flight.

    I think it's reasonable

    I also think it should be extended to public transport, football ground and in shop queues amongst other places.
    Definitely in shop queues when they continue using the phone when they are being served - just ignorant.

    Could never understand that one(apart from the annoying factor)..I used to install mobile phone sites on the roofs of hospitals and the only system that operates on that frequency are mobile phones.[​IMG] </p>

    Barnsley and Sheffield Children's Hospitals

    will allow you to use your phones. When Laura was in Sheff. earlier this year the nurse told me not to switch mine off but just keep it on silent. Also when Kev's mum was in Barnsley we could keep the phones on so long as they were on silent and they didn't interfere with any of the life support machines.
