Mills [Mrs. Paul McCartney] attacks BA for her wheelchair 'humiliation'

This is London ^ | 12/6/06 | Ed Harris

[Huntress]

What the heck is wrong with a wheelchair?

[Froufrou]

Good question.

[BookmanTheJanitor]

especially when you request one...

She had reportedly requested a wheelchair when she booked her flight

[wideawake]

She wanted to be chauffeured in a buggy.

They offered to chauffeur her in a wheelchair.

She was so offended . . . that she walked instead.

Amazing.

[pandoraou812]

Nothing is wrong with a wheelchair. She just expects to be treated differently, after all she married a Beatle. She also seems to have a problem with thinking everyone has it out for her too.

[Hegemony Cricket]

Perhaps a sedan chair borne by six eunuchs?

[wideawake]

Well, a lot of people do hate her. And they have their reasons. She is suing Paul McCartney, a British national treasure, for divorce and half of his estate.

[Yo-Yo]

She wanted to ride in one of those golf carts with the flashing yellow light on top and a constant Beep-Beep as it weaves it's way through the "little people" clogging the terminal.

Nothing special.

[Sax]

"Have you got it in for me? This is vile. Why are you doing this to me? Humiliated?

Since when is the occupant of a wheel chair supposed to be humiliated or shamed. This chick is spoiled rotten - offended by being offered the same manner of transport afforded to the great unwashed masses.

[Slings and Arrows]

She certainly put her foot down.

[Irish_Thatcherite]

At least she didn't complain about the hostess wearing a cross around her neck....

:-P

[BenLurkin]

I suppose she might sue but ...

[Dont Mention the War]

I'm getting really tired of her kneejerk responses to everything.

[Froufrou]

Hey, if it's good enough for Cleopatra...

My father was a station agent for British Airways at Washington Dulles airport. Years ago, Elisabeth Taylor would take the Concorde to London. She would always miss the mobile lounge to the aircraft so that she could get her private ride in the company car. The last time she pulled this stunt, my father had driven her out to the plane and the plane had settled back so that the steps on the service side were now two feet lower than the the threshold. When my father and Liz got to the top of the steps, my father asked the purser to take her hand while her pushed her tail through the service entrance. This was when she was in one of her "portly" stages. She never missed the mobile lounge after that incident.

[BulletBobCo]

while her = while he

[Froufrou]

Aside from the embarrassment, there's also her well known back problems. That must've been an uncomfortable situation on so many levels!

>a lot of people do hate her. And they have their reasons. She is suing Paul McCartney, a British national treasure, for divorce and half of his estate

But, on the plus side, everyone still likes her more than they like Yoko . ..

[pandoraou812]

She doesn't seem to be very likable thats for sure. I never saw her have any problems with her leg when she was happily married but I don't follow this much either. I feel sorry for the child in this mess. Is Paul going for custody?

[BunnySlippers]

She is getting pretty high and mighty. Wonder if they catered to her every whim when she was just Heather Mills.
