From Roger Moffatt

A recent experience with the airline British European proved rather more
awkward than Quail’s, when I was allocated seat 17A on a recent flight from
Leeds to Belfast. Unfortunately the seating stopped altogether at row 14,
proving once again that to err is human, but to really foul things up requires a
computer.
