should fat people pay more for flights?

[JimmyBoy]

should fat people pay more for flights?

lol now thats straying into a completely different set of morals

but imo, if they are obese and take up two seats and weigh more than most peoples luggage put together then yes they should

chances are they're only going on holiday to devour another countries delicacys anyway hehe

[Salazaar]

should fat people pay more for flights?

Strictly speaking... yes

Loading aircraft is all about precisely balancing payloads and fuel loads, but I can't really see any airlines going for it. Especially the American ones

[finlay666]

should fat people pay more for flights?

No

HOWEVER

Baggage allowance should also take into consideration the persons weight, which means I could carry on more luggage like a few compters than Rik Waller, who might get away with a packet of crisps or something

[MadduckUK]

your saying fat people should be forced to sit in stowage?

i like!

[Salazaar]

In airline circles all passengers are known as self-loading baggage!

'Blackboard? BLACKBOARD? B-L-A-C-K-B-O-A-R-D?! Are you the founder member of the neo-Nazi, BNP, Combat 18, White power, death to the darkies movement, OR DO YOU JUST VOTE FOR THE TORY PARTY AND READ THE SUN YOU MASSIVE RACIST HEAD?!'

S'OK, worry no more, someone invented the whiteboard.

should fat people pay more for flights?

Considering we have to pay if our baggage goes over the weight limit i think yes. One of the things in the world that p!sses me off. A 18 stone guy can come on the plane with as much luggage as me, yet im 12 stone and have to pay more if i go over the baggage weight allowance... Comical tbh

In the same way some places won't insure you if you are too young or too old because you are more likely to be in an accident, they can choose not to insure you because you are a man and statistically more likely to cause an accident (load of balls though.)

They can choose their own terms and conditions. If they choose not to insure you because you are too old, black, jewish, arab, english, mexican or a man, it's their choice. Don't like it? Go somewhere else.

Ahh you cant force heavy people to pay more because absolute weight is dependant on Age, Sex, Upbringing, lifestyle and diet. Would it be fair to charge the 6'4" rugby player more than the 4'11" gymnist purely based on absolute weight? Both are probably just as 'fit' but probably differ in weight to the tune of 10stone.

As to insurance it would be funny to see a 'white mans insurer' simply because on average in the UK I suspect the white man causes the highest percentage of the payout costs simply because of the demographic distribution. So the numbers just wouldnt work.

I have a policy of not doing business with companys that have irritating adverts so Sheilas Wheels is right out anyway.

I guess you don't own a bottle of Cillit Bang in your house then? God I hate that advert.

[Salazaar]

I swore never to buy Cillit Bang the moment I saw their first advert.

[pollaxe]

Interestingly (or not) all the Cillit Bang adverts are deliberately designed to be cheesy/irritating. From Barry Scott (a created personality) to the poorly done dubbing. Strange.

Sheila's Wheels adverts also alarm me slightly as the car is clearly going backwards in several places.

Well they've started doing house insurance now too...

Which utterly confuses me... is it female only house insurance?

If so, I'm sure lesbian communes all over the UK will be burning packs of Marks and Sparks Y-fronts in celebration of the liberated woman finally sticking it to the man in the home insurance sector.

Anyhoo, I've found out why Sheila's Wheels is cheaper for women than men and it's all to accident claim rates, as you'd expect.

Apparently, 19% of minor claims are for accidents caused by backing off the drive onto the road. Sheila's Wheels has automatically reduced their claims by 19% by insuring only women, who, as we all know, can't reverse... so no driveway accidents.

Edit: and on a serious note, you know that a few years back insurance companies stopped that price matching stuff if you told them you'd found the same insurance cheaper? Well they're doing it again, especially now that nearly all of them will carry your protected no-claims over from one company to another... so once again it pays to shop around and haggle.
