a piss on a ryanair or easyjet plane in my life, you're on them for less than half an hour and there's a free toilet at each end which you don't have to wait for the captain to stop screwing his copilot to use
also, USairways transatlantic envoy class toilets are no better than their economy, but the seats are fantastic

I've just realised this is in fact superb marketing.
They announce a 'plan' to charge people. It gets them loads of free advertising, then they 'bow to public pressure' and ditch the idea...

But the last time I went on holiday I found BA were around £40 cheaper and offered a better service than RyanAir i.e. free luggage handling, free food, free drinks, leather seats, staff that aren't Irish...

but the won't bow to public pressure
they didn't with paying for luggage. or check in. or using your card to pay. or buying food...
Yes, but if they charge for the toilet they'll have to stop serving food or drink.

What reasoning do you give for that?
Does that mean that train stations have to stop serving food?

No, because train stations don't lock people in.
EDIT: And it's not my reasoning, it's Michael O'Leary's. He came to one of my gigs a few years back and I asked him why they didn't have payloos. He said they'd looked into it and couldn't.

Cheapest flights my backside
They may be the cheapest, until you get to the payment page and suddenly your £76 cheap return flight has turned into £150 or £200.

shouldn't it be "Leaks on a Plane"?

No. Because 'Leaks' doesn't rhyme (as well) with 'Snakes'
I considered it, but no.

Topical!
I reckon it's just a publicity stunt. They're not really going to charge. They just know the sheer possibility is scandalous enough to get them into every media outlet in Europe. Only one thing worse than being talked about...

On that 'post your secret' site
I saw a post yesterday about someone's mum thinking she had got crabs from her job at the hospital, and asked him to shave her clean whilst laying, legs spread open, on the bed.
...even I felt traumatised just reading that.
Edit: I'm sharing the love ladies and gentleman, just spreadin' it around ;)
