    Latest speculation is that the engines cut "due to contaminated fuel".

    So that would be...

    Have Tesco started supplying fuel to Chinese airports?

    I bet one of the passengers could not wait to switch on the new mobile
    phonem s/he bought in China, around 2 miles short of landing at
    Heathrow, just to see if it worked.

    Heh. I've just seen a web-forum where there's discussion of plod's known
    affection for blocking cell-phone signals near The Great Leader.

    Bearing in mind he was sat on the LHR tarmac at the time, there should
    be enough there to keep the conspiracy theorists happy for *ages*...

  8. The pilot claims he wasn't actually doing the driving as such, could
    there be a connection?

    Yep, that's the 'Israelis' fault' too.

    and c) with appropriate equipment in the plane would allow the airlines
    to make a few quid.

    Regardless of the safety aspects, I'd happily have the things banned on
    trains, let alone aircraft.

    And don't get me started on Blackberries...

    My reservation is that I just know I'd be trying to kip with some
    ignorant wanker bellowing "HELLO! YES! I'M AT 34,000 FEET! YES! HELLO?
    CAN YOU HEAR ME?".

    Indeed. And s/he'll be waking up every baby on the plane who'll all
    simultaneously start bawling their eyes out.

    Welcome to hell, easyjet-style.

    I think they've worked out that using a mobile doesn't require you to
    shout so loud that the recipient of the call can hear you without the
    benefit of a phone.

    Either that or they may have better reception on the trains.

  19. Heh. I haven't enabled the email function on mine. If I'm away from the
    office, I don't want to be bothered. If I'm abroad on business, I can
    access my emails via my laptop, so why GAF?
