Dear Alitalia

   
My recent trip to Rome with your airline was the first I have made for several years, and it came as a great disappointment to discover that the emergency procedures are now given via TV screens and not, as used to be the case, by your air stewardesses.

I can't speak for other men of course, but as a student of human nature I would wager a couple Pavarotti tickets to a bowl of spaghetti that the vast majority of the male sex would prefer to see the stewardesses doing the emergency drills again. To see one of these lovelies donning a life jacket used to be the high point of the journey. Even seen from several yards away it was never less than an enjoyable experience to see the stewardess stretching her torso this way and that, and pointing at it, but if one happened to be fortunate enough to be seated adjacent to where she doing it - Mamma Mia!

I would have thought that as Italians, and what that entails - you know, hot blood and all that - that you would have been well aware of what a treat it was for your male passengers to see nubile young women stretching and pointing at their torsos, but apparently not. However, I'm sure that now I've pointed it out to you that you'll soon put a stop to this nonsense with the TV screens and get your stewardesses back to performing 'live' again.

Incidentally, I will be taking a party of balsamic vinegar-lovers to Tuscany in August. Do you offer any discounts for parties of twenty?

Yours faithfully

T Ravenscroft (Mr)
