hi,
here in rouen, france.
i flew the concorde over, from nyc to london. and let me be a whiney yuppie and offer my comments/complaints about the concorde.
ok, the good thing about the concorde is that it’s fast.
and that’s about it.
the bad things:
a-tiny little cramped seats that are far too expensive.
b-tiny little cabin with people constantly bumping into each other and getting annoyed and long lines for the bathroom.
c-tiny, tiny little windows, so the view might be great from 60,000 feet, but you can’t really see all that much.
d-not enough room in the aisles for 2 people to pass each other. and whenever someone walks by you basically get their ass in your face, which isn’t nice (unless you’re an ass-face fetishist, which i’m not).
ok, i’m done with my yuppie rant, and i completely understand why they’re retiring the concorde.
oh, no movies, either.
and no vegan food for the hungry, irate yuppie(me).
i’m amazed that the concorde’s been around for as long as it has. yes, it’s very fast. but it’s kind of like flying in a very cramped, crowded, annoying subway car.
ok, that’s it. i’ll keep my yuppie complaints to a minimum in the future.
it’s hot and sunny in france. hooray.
