What a lovely welcome we've had from folks on here, and lots of people want to buy our book. We obviously have to warn you all that it is cheeky, rude, naughty, vulgar, vile, thought provoking, heart warming, charming, witty, packed with information and totally, completely and in everyway, absolutley pro-crew and aviation. It's FAB! We are so proud! Hee hee! It's had such amazing reviews we are just a touch over-whelmed, no that's an understand and a half, we are delighted and astounded.

Here we were just thinking we were carrying on having a laugh and suddenly off it went, tons of interest, loads of praise and now we are in hiding, in all the while in full view in uniform!

Thank you everyone, you have really made our days!

Love,

Well just finished the book and enjoyed it. I'd have to say that unless they're being very very very camouflaged they're BA as VS don't have an F cabin. I'd also have to say that in relation to one of the anecdotes in the book - when a group of us do Dubai in F at Xmas, if one of the party annoy you they're not with me OK? [;)]. Looking forward to the next instalment and if anyone has a youtube addy for the vid mentioned in the book a PM would be most welcome [;)].

Thanks Decker, yes, it's the websites fault. The web designers automatically built it in, as we were doing other items, it's on the tweak list. There is no VAT
on books, but it shows as the VAT element of the total price, by default.

We've been on to them and they will change it for us, but right now we are spinning positively and think this:
it shows you what you actaully save in real terms by getting a book as opposed to, say, a very large bar of chocolate, both worthy purchases but one with Government
discount!

I'd recommend anyone to buy this book [y] It's a real eye-opener for all regular flyers. I now have even more respect for you guys who works your butts off as crew.

I'd never even thought about some of the things you guys as crew have to go though and put up with. I'd also never considered 1 hour working at altitude is the same as 2 hours work on the ground.

BTW this book isn't just a book about stories of things that happen down route or onboard. It covers a whole lot more as well (which I wont go into as you should buy and read this book) [:w]

Thanks again ladies and happy flying [y]

James Mitchell, you fab person!

Thank you so much, total pleasure to have you read our book and now appreciate how hard and well crew work, often in stressful and trying circumstances, often while exhausted, but always with positivity and cheer. Thank you, this has really made us delighted we wrote the book, we have more than done what we set out to do from what you have said, and thank you for recommending us. You'll so enjoy your HongKong flight now, but no infiltrating that galley when the curtain is drawn, you now know the penalites for that disgraceful crime against Cabin Crew!

Big hugs from your favourite Sky High Coffee Sloppers!

Hi everyone!

We've heard from the guys at Bingbong that some of the books recently ordered have been delayed because of that postal strike. All books ordered during it have been despatched, but we understand that there is a massive backlog of post still to be delivered. Thanks for being patient, it's a huge inconvenience, especially as we signed some with birthday messages as gifts, such a shame. Fingers crossed they will be arriving any day now, so you can get tucked in and join us on our mad adventures at altitiude.

Love,

I was hoping my copy would arrive in time for my trip to IAD, but alas between the postal strike and also the fact that we do not have deliveries on a Saturday [:(!] (Christmas and general elections excepted [:0] )it is not to be.

Honey-Lamb! Awww love, we are so sorry, what a bloody shame. We do feel sorry for the post men, but now we are very cross because they have let our dear readers down. (Yes, you also didn't tell us why you felt like a fuddy duddy, that phrase cracks us up, not heard that for ages!) And thank you so much Roxy for your order too, it may well be you get your things before Honey Lamb because of the warehouses full of people's post.

Sy at Bingbong and the guys have had a really difficult time with the strike, it's a killer for a company that relies on the Postal Service like we do. March in WH Smiths at the airport and demand it people! make them stock us!!!!!
