But Steve, you’re old enough and wise enough to know when you’re doing the equivalent of making pork jokes in a synagogue so I guess it’s kind of surprising to see you doing that here.

To all you guys who even think there is any kind of issue here:
Bloke A (heterosexual) goes to work in his factory, etc Monday to Friday and saves for ages to have a holiday away from the UK once or twice a year where he pays through the nose for the privelege.
Bloke B (also heterosexual) work IS the holiday (albeit with a fair amount of hard work to get to that position and to get to that destination) but now he is being paid to be there in the company of many other young, attractive people (if that is his/her thing).

The cabin crew scene is littered with straight guys who you’d think would never do this job who initially took loads of stick from their mates when they joined. The interesting thing is that it never takes long before the guys who get left at home realise that their mate actually got it right.
