Anyone who has followed me for any length of time over the last year and a half knows I made a decision to pick on Europe's low cost carrier RyanAir some time ago. With their chairman's outrageous comments and policies, they have always been an easy target for a pseudo comic like me. Like when the chairman said you could book a ticket WITHOUT a seat! Talk about standing room only!
Well, the inevitable finally happened. They are now charging to use the lavatory (loo, in British terms). I can only imagine if they have a lock on the door with a coin pay feature. It would be like that scene from Blazing Saddles where the rustlers had to pay a dime to get by the LePetomaine Thruway barrier out in the middle of cactus and scrub brush. I can see people prancing and 2-stepping in the aisles as they await their 'turn'.
Or maybe you have to assume you will need it and pay in advance? I wonder if it will limit the time also - like a parking meter: a dollar for 3 minutes, $5 for 15, etc.
At any rate, read the article here and see if you don't want to laugh as I did.
