Ryanair is going to charge people to go to the toilet.  We’ve heard it all now.  Speaking on the Beeb this morning, Michael O’ Leary dropped the following bombshell:

“One thing we have looked at in the past and are looking at again is the possibility of maybe putting a coin slot on the toilet door so that people might actually have to spend a pound (€1.12), ($1.43) to spend a penny in future.”

He even had himself covered when cornered about what would happen if people were low on change saying: “I don’t think there is anybody in history that has got on board a Ryanair aircraft with less than a pound.”

Wait.  I better watch what I say here after reading yesterday’s news of Ryanair’s cyber attack on a blogger who found a glitch in their booking system. 

All I’m saying is taking a pee on a Ryanair flight might be the most expensive penny you’ve ever spent.
