Back end down a bit

And another thing while I'm waiting to see if Youtube is going to upload my slideshow or not - or possibly twice - I have a question that Dr Stu is probably best-placed to answer.

On the flight out to Fuerteventura there were about 40 of us on a plane made for 150. When we boarded, the stewardess said that our seat numbers had been changed for balance. Okay, that would have sounded sensible if we'd all been spread out through the plane but about 36 passengers were in the first 10 rows. There was another couple in row 18, and then us on our own in the back row.

Are they seriously trying to suggest that the combined weight of Husband and me would balance the back end of the plane? I know my diet wasn't awfully successful but that's just plain silly.

A great metal lump of an aeroplane needing two people to stop its back end sticking up? Purlease.
