Everybody's favorite Guardian architecture critic
Jonathan Glancey shares his wisdom and gripes about flying and the new Airbus A380 in an
old KCRW DnA show. Skip ahead to 21:46 to hear my favorite part:
I find the idea of sitting on any big aircraft absolute misery. You're crammed in. You're squeezed in. You have the sky nannies coming along and bullying you:
(In high voice)"Chicken or fish? Red or white wine? And keep the seat in the upright position."
Always being bullied and having a horrible time.
And that, of course, truly is the future of flight:
Having a horrible time for as short a time as possible.
