RYANAIR - A EURO TO TAKE A LEAK!

RYANAIR is plumbing new depths with its latest passenger charge — the company wants to introduce a €1 toilet charge on its flights.

In a BBC interview, airline chief executive Michael O’Leary said: "One thing we have looked at in the past and are looking at again is the possibility of maybe putting a coin slot on the door so that people may have to spend a pound to spend a penny."
Asked what someone would do if they were caught short — of money — O’Leary responded: "I don’t think there is anybody in history who has got onboard a Ryanair aircraft with less then a pound."

Yesterday Ryanair’s publicity team were unconvincing in their attempts to wash their hands of Mr O’Leary’s comments.
"Michael makes a lot of this stuff up as he goes along and while this has been discussed internally, there are no immediate plans to introduce it."

The spokesperson said O’Leary’s comments highlight Ryanair’s obsession with lowering costs and passing these savings on in the form of lower fares.
"Passengers using train and bus stations are already accustomed to paying to use the toilet, so why not on airplanes?"

Then again, maybe O’Leary was just taking the p*ss.
