Airbus A380

This is the Airbus A380 that flew me from Singapore to Frankfurt. Hester was surprised that I couldn't
remember if I'd flown in one before. You arrive at the airport at night, you go through a tunnel into the aircraft without actually seeing it, then you exit through a tunnel. So it was nice this time to look through a window and see the glorious beast. Once you are inside them all modern jumbo jet interiors are the same.
you can only see the back of the seat in front of you and the overhead locker. So you don't think WOW! I'm in an Airbus!!! This is great!!
When we landed and waited for the plane to come to a complete stop everyone got out of their seats, retrieved their stuff from the overhead lockers and then proceeded to wait an eternity in near silence for the cabin crew to open the doors. While we were all standing there this obese Indian chap, who had sat fast asleep and snoring loudly next to me all flight, asked the stewardess if she had a toothbrush? She gave a polite smile and said "No, sorry". There was a moments silence and then this Australian bloke standing a little way away from us said "You're in Economy mate, you're lucky to get toilet paper!"
