North by North West

28,000ft heading out of Birmingham. Technically it was sunny as the craft did clear the clouds. Whether earthbound mortals had similar experience, i don't know. Despite phone being in "flight mode", i was informed that the CAA hadn't approved it and i obediently switched off the phone. I am still confused as to why electrical equipment like ipods and radio receivers have to be switched off when approaching takeoff and landing, but better safe than sorry. I was just disappointed that my window seat didn't come supplied with a window. However, i did get a seat and another lovely flight. Three quid bus into Aberdeen and the joys of listening to the music of the hoodie sat behind me.
