Whilst looking for something else I stumbled upon this is the Times

(don't shout at me, I'm just giving you the link!)
                    
                                    
            
                
                There's been a very lively discussion on another forum about this subject over the last few days. Some of the posts have been quite heated.

                All I'll say on the subject is 'yet another Michael O'Learly publicity stunt', although there are some valid points.

                Sorry, but we have had this discussion on more than one occasion, and it always brings out the worst in some members.  It is therefore best to close the topic before we start seeing the usual derogatory and offensive remarks about overweight passengers.
