Ohh wonder if Virgin fly there haha
Ohh wonder if Virgin fly there hahaIn Vietnam they sell packets of dried chickennotreallychicken and it’s delicious. Goes well with a beer of an evening.
Unfortunately not. But Qatar Airlines are very generous with regular food and drink offerings throughout the flight, then when you touch down in Hanoi, you can go and buy a giant bag of dried chickennotreallychicken and grab a beer.Ohh wonder if Virgin fly there haha
Sounds like something I need this week. I don’t identify as teeny tiny so all good.Unfortunately not.

The Vietnamese are teeny tiny though, even by teeny tiny mumsnet identifier standards, so as a Westerner, I look like a giant lumbering through the streets, brandishing my bag of chickennotreallychickenSounds like something I need this week. I don’t identify as teeny tiny so all good.
I was on a BA flight to tacky USA destination (think Las Vegas). Was in cattle class and they just kept throwing food and snacks at us. The woman beside me was German and nearly had a meltdown as she was asleep when they passed out Magnum ice creams. She actually climbed over me to get one. She ate everything and was looking at my tray to see what she could take.
She was a teeny tiny and I was the one with a more robust shape.
Like Shein, where a size 12 is "Large"The Vietnamese are teeny tiny though, even by teeny tiny mumsnet identifier standards, so as a Westerner, I look like a giant lumbering through the streets, brandishing my bag of chickennotreallychickenWhen I was last there, I saw a shop advertising "BIG LADY CLOTHES" and the largest size was a 14. A small 14 at that, although the label said XXXXXXXXXL.
whoever would’ve guessed that this thread got a “45 minutes is fine, I used to catch 3 train, a bus, a tram and a plane and still had a 20 minute walk home. No wonder everyone is fat now” response.
Maybe this is the key to why they love the sister wife dresses.Like Shein, where a size 12 is "Large"
My sister is 5'7" and a 12-14, 34C/D bust. She lost her luggage in Thailand and had to try to buy underwear. She tells a very funny story of all the petite Thai ladies gasping "But you are huge!" and frantically pulling out groundsheets and pillowcases. She says they weren't trying to be rude; they were just genuinely astounded at the task of fitting this mammoth creature, like Lilliputians meeting Gulliver.The Vietnamese are teeny tiny though, even by teeny tiny mumsnet identifier standards, so as a Westerner, I look like a giant lumbering through the streets, brandishing my bag of chickennotreallychickenWhen I was last there, I saw a shop advertising "BIG LADY CLOTHES" and the largest size was a 14.

There is a reason we all end up in those baggy elephant print fishermans trousers when we go on holiday to SE Asia - it's the only clothing you can get that fits you!My sister is 5'7" and a 12-14, 34C/D bust.

I'm a 32HH and I'm terrified to go there in case I get mistaken for an army missile.
Joe Le Taxi sounds like an excellent choice then. A nod to the French, as everyone there aspires to be French, and to the taxi driver.The OP reply on the Jimberly thread had me properly laughing. Someone asked why they couldn't honour Grandma instead of grandad given that the baby was a girl. The reply was "unfortunately Grandma ran off with a taxi driver". Really tickled me.
I could write exact same post but swap the airlines around! I suppose it comes down to what crew you’ve got that day a lot of the time.I’ve flown BA and Virgin to LA a few times, always book premium economy. Virgin was ten times better in my experience.
BA attendants weren’t really interested I found, had to ask four times for a coke over the course of two hours as they’d disappear, only to be found chatting in the galley. In the end I went up and got it myself. They were pretty grumpy too.
Flying home guy in front was reclined and under a blanket (wonder if it was this MNetters DH) and flight attendant wouldn’t ask him to sit up so I struggled with my tray for my meal.
Virgin were the epitome of ‘throw food and drink at you’. A teeny tiny nightmare if you will. They were also jokey and chatty, completely opposite of BA.
Always flown DVirgin since.
I bought some pull on sports bras from Amazon and they were labelled XXL in gold lettering, inside and out. They were too smallLike Shein, where a size 12 is "Large"
I've just finished this too. The posh Annabelle woman is definitely Mumsnet inspired. She didn't even eat all her salad!I read a book recently, called Magpie by Elizabeth Day, about infertility and surrogacy (I enjoyed it but the reviews are terrible) and Mumsnet featured strongly.
