This'll please Mookiemoo.

On the 07:01 WSB - RDG and Soft Drink Cans are back in First Class and complimentary!! ;D

The selection includes: Coke, Diet Coke, Fanta Orange and Sprite. (Not R-Whites)

Along with this are new cakes/pastries and fruit juices! Wondering what the afternoon selection will be assuming I don't return via XC!
;D

You get a 150ml can of R-Whites Lemonade Complimentary on Beardie Rail! Less than half!

Even thought the host gave me 2 it's still 30ml less! To whom to I complain to about this monstrosity!! :P

Although I am on the Pretendolino drinking tea from a china cup so they have redeemed themselves ;D

lolol

but the staff are instructed to pop the can on handover - hence what I said years ago when they stopped them


finally common sense prevails

A cynic might suspect that a franchise renewal is in the offing !

Fanta fizzy orange is good with gin.
The larger cans than those used for mixers mean that more gin must be purchased in order to use the whole can.

BTW is there any policy on carrying goods for sale on the trolley that serves complimentaries in First ?
Seems pot luck at present. Most trolley staff carry some saleables, but others dont. This causes delay whilst the goods are fetched from the buffet, and the endless walking to and fro must be irksome.

Do they still make Irn Bru with girders (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_Rc_Q6wNCg&feature=related)? (Or rather gurh-duzs)
