    1st world problems

    I found myself getting irate when my 1st is and 2nd choice meal options weren't available in business class. I've vented via the comments card but also given my head a shake. I've got my feet up, a glass of wine and £2k on my wrist. What the hell have I got to complain about?

    With only a £2k watch on your wrist in business class I'm surprised they didn't just let you eat cake.

    I had the same problem in a National Express coach from Victoria to Newcastle. The stewardess started at the rear with the refreshments and by the time she got to those of us at the front there were no Walkers cheese and onion crisps left. I was sitting behind the driver and wearing an Amphibia. Disgraceful.

    I'm sure after reading your comments card that the captain will radio ahead and there will be an emergency hospitalitybulance waiting on the tarmac for you, to whisk you off to the standby Michelin restaurant for life saving sustenance 😅

    You could complain about not saving up a little longer for the Rolex :)

    Only £2k watch? I am sure the business class ticket was more. And even if you expense for the ticket, you have your priorities wrong ;-)

    I suspect that there were limited supplies of choices 1 and 2 and that priority was given to those passengers who the cabin crew deemed to be winning more successfully at life. I would suggest a "Patrick Philip" or an AP or similar in future.

    Old watch?

    Maybe it was an old Rolex Daytona that he bought many many years ago for £2000???

    Na! Such a massive bag of coppers would qualify as some form of weapon nowadays so would not be allowed on the plane.

    Judging by this post the only thing that immediately springs to mind is a woeful lack of *class.





    *It's that thing that stays quiet when money is trying to shout for attention.

    Something similar happened to me once, albeit the flavour was beefy. It made for a most ghastly and fretful journey. To this day I adhere to a detailed checklist for coach, and indeed rail travel to avoid this problem.

    Sounds like the OP is wearing a Tudor black bay on the plane

    http://forum.tz-uk.com/showthread.ph...wear-one-watch

    I must remember never to wear Tudor in first class :)

    We've all assumed he means on a plane when he mentioned 'business class' but how do we know he's not at night school doing a 'business class' at the local polytechnic and in the canteen the first choice of shepherds pie and second choice of chicken Kiev had sold out? Maybe he was stuck with a ropey old piece of ?

    Too much assumption on these boards

    I hope you explained to the crew that you had £2k strapped to your wrist.....or maybe you did and then they noticed all the £6k, £8k, £10k etc and they got first meal choices LOL

    What a thread!!

    One thing about people who tell the world that they travel business class is that the company pays. When they have to pay their own fair, it is usually EasyJet or Ryanair.

    I know because I am one of them.

    Only working business class and 2k on the wrist. I do so weep for those much less fortunate than I. One often wonders how these stable boys do not starve to death on such a pittance.

    Come on OP, put us out of our misery and tell us that it was all a wind up.

    If it is, fair play, very funny, if it isn't - you need a reality slap :-)

    I used to travel all over the World for near-free (only paying the taxes, free fares) as staff, but due to being staff I always had to wait until everyone else had chosen their meals before I was allowed to decide between what was left. Usually some horrific halal stew or a vegetarian risotto.

    Always made sure I had a constantly topped up glass of Champagne though.

    The guy did not say if he was in a plane or in a train. Looks like the latter.

    Don't think you get to put your feet up even in First Class on trains either(I have a nose on my way back to the cheap seats).

    Last time I was in biz class the chap next to me was sporting a stunning AP Royal Oak. I had to spend the rest of the flight hiding the Seiko under my cuff while craning for a look at his wrist.
