Ryanair trolley dollies have a touch of the Trotters
Flying back from Italy recently I found myself questioning whether I'd accidentally stumbled into a winged Robin Reliant emblazoned with Trotter's Independent Traders.
With times tough for aviation it seems Ryanair are now encouraging their trolley dollies to become the Del Boys of the sky.
In a two hour assault our flight was bombarded with 'announcements' as the Ryanair bazaar went into full swing.
"Why not have a packet of Pringles? Have a J20 or a smokeless cigarette? Whisky? They are two for one! Buy your bus ticket home, check out our in flight mag. We have hot snacks!
Snap up a scratchcard for fantastic prizes like a boat, cash or perfume! You can make a call from 10,000 feet! Use your mobile from just ã1.50 a minute!"
OK, so I did text my mother - but after the excitement of joining the phone mile high club had worn off all I really wanted was the one thing they couldn't sell me... a pair of ear plugs.

Not to mention the ã35 to check-in your baggage - of which you're only allowed 15kg, you can take up to 10kg in hand-baggage (providing you can squeeze it into a small enough space).
As for the convenience of using a mobile on a plane, should we possibly hope that a flight is still the one place you can escape the tyranny of constant communication?
Although if it avoids the possibility of having to talk to other RyanAir customers maybe it's a good thing.

Do not money to buy a car? Worry no more, because this is achievable to get the business loans to solve all the problems. So take a college loan to buy all you need.
