To be honest I've only flown on the same airline where I've had a meal - but I'd go with; it's not great but it's also not awful.
I think they're about what you'd get in an average microwave ready meal - fair enough that a lot of people do think they're inedible, but mainly I think it's down to managing expectations.

This is probably the first time I have ever agreed with a single word posted by Woodsey, but I think airline meals are generally okay. I am an extremely fussy eater and wouldn't eat a quarter of the 'food' I have seen praised on this forum, but I have rarely come across an airline meal that is as bad as people make out.

I think I'd rather die then have to eat airline food. I mean I guess I'd have the heart for 6 months on the minimum spending some £££ but screw long term.
I know it's just a figure of speech but really? It's not that bad. If you swill it down with a few over priced crap lagers it can actually be a very pleasing experience. |

Less focus on the 1% that sticks in your mind please  |

The trouble with airline food is that the cabin pressure is lower than it would be on the ground, which messes with your tastebuds. Everything tastes bad in an aircraft. If you take any food on yourself, it still tastes ropey.

12. How come if you make a deposit to a poker site/bookmaker with a debit card they get the money instantly but when you withdraw it always takes "3-5 working days"?

The sites would say that its to run checks on your transfers and for any indication of money laundering related activity but how accurate that is I don't know. I can't see any immediate reason why it would be advantageous for the sites to keep you waiting 3-5 days if they didn't have to. Or perhaps they hold enough cash that hanging on to it for an extra 3-5 days generates them enough extra interest to make it worth their while to hold onto it. Also could perhaps be that the bank you're sending it to like to have a look at transactions from gambling related businesses. Just musing, don't really know. |

Keith, the question about religion always leaves me dumbfounded. I don't understand with how intelligent people are meant to be and all the facts of evolution around us that such a large percentage of people are religious.
I guess it's people who are scared of dying, all religions offer an afterlife for you but unfortunately that's not true.
