This saga demonstrates what happens when a command and comprehension of a language is missing.

The marketing blurb states : "Champagne is AVAILABLE throughout the flight". This means you have to ask for it and your wish will be granted.

If the sentence had read "Champagne will be served during the flight" then it would mean that it will arrive at some point en route and the service staff will approach you and ask if/when you want it.

Singlish is efficient but it misses out the "nuances" that are essential in order to be understood correctly. If one claims to be an English speaker then the language needs to be spoken properly.

It's the same with any language and the irony is that many Singaporeans cannot speak any language well.

We all make mistakes but that does not mean we should not strive for perfection when communicating.

Yes. I feel bad that I can't speak and write queen's English. I will strive to read and write and speak betterer English

His language skills are sorely lacking. I'm surprised he made it to managerial level. Dupont obviously isn't very discerning.

Its the story of a balless sinkie who has an inferiority complex and was so desperate to break into the upper class category, but failing terribly!

What was the point in law, that we used to study...!? " there is no truth in advertising".

His position most likely a glorified one on security...must be some security guard, who went for a few night classes, got himself some "skillsnofuture" upgrades in the pass. The "vinegar" is the same in the bottle, only now a fanciful label...get the drift?

In NZ and probably most Western democracies it is against the law to mislead consumers in an advert. Companies can be fined and forced to refund and/or pay compensation to those who have fallen victim to the deceit.

perhaps this cockanathan dwells too much on the "on request" thingy.
give him some soda water mixed with white wine, and this idiot wouldn't know the difference :(

I guess the other indication that he is low in the pecking order is the fact that he's flying economy.

The real hotshots fly business/first class or by private jet and that includes those whose companies have gone bankrupt many times over.

What a terrible environment for businesses!

Now I remember from the 'foggy ruins of time, in my memory" Carlill vs Carbolic Smoke Ball Co. (1892).

Yes it is. It's far less stressful to be on the dole in NZ than it is to run a business. Beneficiaries just sit back and spend the hard earned money of others. Businesses are taken to the cleaners by the govt daily.

When it comes to running a business Singapore is the BEST!. You can hire and fire at will and if you join an RC the government will make sure you have a constant stream of income.

The Air Stewardess should have given him their own premium Champagne of their own, take the wine glass go to the toilet, pee in the glass, spray soda water into it to give it bubbly...here sir " our premium Champagne" & it was a good year!

He might enjoy her pee more than he would the champagne. Golden showers is a frequently requested fetish in my other forum.

Is this a new spelling for champagne, boss?

and the fruity fruits-de-mer taste of acidity on the nose is from a fresh-squeezed twat. if you want more head and bubbly, pse stir vigorously, stirrers and mints can be provided - but only on request!
