Stewardess kena Slapped on flight!

Below is a copy of an email sent to me by one of my readers

Hi Bohtong,

this is Al again.

The moment of Truth has finally arrived!
Incident happened on SQXX on 20Sep onboard before arrival Narita Japan.
The offender was travelling with her high profile husband,a LPPS pax, siting in JCL.
She was going to toilet and saw Fss chatting with her husband in the galley.
Pax raised her hand and slapped Fss very hard in the face!
She must be very jealous with all the attention our PPS are having all these years...Ha ha.
Heard lawsuit for a million $ coming up since pax must be very rich.

List of top 10 most feared crew-in-charge.

I was surfing the net and came across this rather familiar blog called boRtong. In that blog, at the right hand side bar, is this little cbox where visitors could leave their comments that I found something very interesting. It was posted by "foreigner" and in it were the names of the 10 most feared inflight supervisors (IFS) or crew-in-charge. Some of those 10 names mentioned were not familiar to me at all while the rest are known to me.
Those 10 names mentioned by "foreigner" are senior crew whom most junior crew would want to avoid flying with at all cost. To most of us,they were just doing their job,like being strict and being the no nonsense type.In fact,if you were to ask me,it is good to have some of these senior crew around. They don't believe on being popular.They,in general,sweat for their salaries.
They is another group of IFS (inflight supervisors or crew-in-charge)who are very popular with the junior crew. These are the ones who couldn't care to hoots about the company. They are very very lenient and would close both of their eyes to sloppy and bad services offered by their crew to the passengers. They just want a good time and easy flight and let their junior crew get away with "murder".
There is also another type of IFS and senior crew. These are crew who are nasty to their junior crew for the sake of being nasty. I noticed one or two of the names mentioned are in the last group. These senior crew are a pain not only to the junior crew but to the company as well.
One of them a married man, for example, used to f**** around with a foreign stewardess.He wanted to be strict to the junior crew but his unacceptable behavior puts many crew off. He was not well groomed at all on most of his flights,especially his hair. We believed he put so much fear into that foreigner stewardess that she submitted to him in order to avoid being bullied on her flights.
I am not too sure he is still with that stewardess but a leopard never changes it spots.
I was quite surprised the company did not retrenched that IFS during the SARS period when it was trimming cost to save the airline.Some other "not that bad" crew were retrenched instead or rather given the early retirement. It was a bad judgement on the part of the past cabin crew management headed by an ass**** SVP who had since been booted out.

Husbands and Boyfriends.

Some of the stewardesses' husbands and boyfriends would go to the extreme to get them into trouble with by informing SIA about their wives/girlfriends' dishonesty,extra marital affairs with the married senior male crew etc..
A few started to abuse the girls.

Here were a few cases that I knew of:

Case 1

Vivian was married to John(not a crew) and when things were going on well,one could see them kissing each other at Changi airport whenever Vivian was going on a flight or after a flight. They were pretty loving until one day when John found out about Vivian's affair with her inflight supervisor.
John wrote to the cc management and informed them Vivian was a married woman even before she joined SQ. He alleged Vivian falsely declared to SIA she was unmarried.
For false declaration,Vivian could be sacked.
John also called the ifs's wife and told her that her husband had been screwing Vivian. Not long after, the ifs's wife who was an ex stewardess let John screwed her in her apartment whenever her husband was away on flight with Vivian.( The ifs and Vivian were in the same team )

Case 2

When Alice wanted to leave Bob,he wrote to SIA and revealed that Alice had a daughter before she joined the airline and had falsely declared she was unmarried.

Case 3

Jenny could go on supporting the unemployed parasite Joe and he reported her to the company for being a "prostitute" to some rich passengers.

Case 4

After months of receiving gifts and cash from a PPS passenger Peter,Joey decided to call it quits with him. Peter purposely bought a ticket and booked himself on the flight Joey was working. On that flight,in front of the crew,Peter spat into Joey's face and called her names.

Case 5

When stewardess Jane and leading steward Peng broke up,Peng gave Jane such a difficult time on the flight that she had a miscarriage. The unborned baby was some else's.

Ex CCEs making an ass of themselves.

There were times I do not blame SIA for booting the CCEs (cabin crew executives)out of the company or ooops I mean making the post of CCE redundant.
The more than a dozen of them joined a company called LRXX,which sources for and trains the cabin crew of mostly 3rd world country airlines. In fact most of them bought shares in the company.
After some unsuccessful attempts to gain more contracts from the 3rd world airlines,they squabbled and fought with each other,resulting in a breakup in the management of the company.
The main shareholder,a Mr. L finally relieved the ex CCEs of their shareholding.
These ex CCEs later on joined a aerospace company called Mil### and trained a batch of stewardesses for a S.E.Asian airlines but that was all they did for the last 2 years.
Hey What's happening guys? Senile already or too rich to go back to training the young girls. Maybe no more engagement from other companies huh? Maybe nobody wants you all ya? Please lah don't give the other ex colleaugues a bad name ok?

I also heard the other smart ones who didn't joined the group mentioned above is now engaged by a company that are also involved in cabin crew training. Hope those few Ex CCEs will work hard and be competent so as to restore the good image of their ex colleagues.

Their moto was "One for all and all for none" still echoed in my ears.

Passing of a great IFS.

I am sorry to announce the passing of ex IFS M. Teheran. He died suddenly of a heart attack,I was told. He would be in his early 60s,perhaps 62 years old.He had a heart bypass a few years ago but it only prolonged his life for a short while.
Teheran or Mike as we fondly called him was a gentleman and courteous guy. He would always spare time to chat with people he met.
We, in and outside of Singapore Airlines would certainly miss Mike. Goodbye and farewell Mike and condolences to his family.
If anyone has more information to the circumstances leading to Mike's death please contact me through email or leave a comment at the bottom of this article.
Thank you.

Crash raises airline safety fears

Ballantyne,the chief correspondent for Orient Aviation magazine, urged travellers to do their homework when choosing flights.

"Look for accidents or safety issues," Ballantyne said. He also recommended airlines connected to strong parent companies - such as Jetstar, operated by Australia's Qantas Airways, or Tiger Airways, which is 49 per cent owned by Singapore Airlines.

One-Two-Go Airlines is tied to Thailand's Orient-Thai Airlines, which has had its own share of problems over the past few years. One plane nearly clipped a tower in Tokyo's city centre while landing and others were issued warnings in South Korea for having outdated passenger safety manuals, he said....click here for more

I know of one cheapo airline which used one retired cabin crew supervisor to be their chief safety trainer when that ex crew was not even rated as competent enough to teach safety subjects.
This ex crew was employed because of "connection".

I don't care whether Sky Trak or any asses rate SQ lowly!

I was with SQ for 35 years as its cabin crew and executive and although I may disagree with its management on some of the policies,my bet is still on SQ.
SIA or SQ is still the best airline to fly and I don't really care what Sky Trak or sky cock say about SQ.
There were questions by my readers regarding the above and I extract 1 in particular with my answer too..

"To answer the first post why skytrax rated us lowly , according to a senior management, Skytrax did approach SQ to take part in their survey but SQ did not want to cos SQ already engage another survey agency which SQ think is more reliable/accurate. So after being turned down, thats when Skytrax ratings for SQ drop, but in order to be a convincing survey, SQ has to be among the top few airline or else it would not seems credible .Thats why, SQ management are not concern with Skytrax findings . As for the other survey agency which SQ took part in, the results are not to be use as advertising, and according to that survey SQ is always number 1.

Hi SQ Boy,
Lets put it this way,no matter what if I have to pay,I would still fly SQ not only for the inflight service but for reliability,punctuality,insurance coverage (some cheapo will pay peanuts),comfort etc....I am all for SQ not bcox I was ex SQ staff but for the value for $$.

About Beh the ex-flight stewardess's blog.

Beh is a good friend of mine and I was the one who taught her about blogging. Now of late,I found Beh to be a bit "unprofessional" in the manner she blogs about people especially about her ex-husband Ron.
Today's entry by Beh about her ex-husband makes me feel uncomfortable. I don't know why she is telling the whole world about Ron? Is she proud of his "achievement" ?
It may not be my business but I will definetly have a word with her at the later part of the day.

Betrayed!

Cheeko the boss of cabin crew demanded that chief steward Len withdraw his report on stewardess Debbie. This stewardess was reported for being lazy and incompetent but because of her sexy ways,Cheeko took a liking to her.
Len refused, knowing that Cheeko was a "chee ko peh" (Hokkien for horny)and favoured only sexy and pretty stewardesses even at the expense of discipline and service standards.

Naturally,Cheeko was upset with Len for not complying with his orders. Cheeko tried ways and means of finding fault with Len and his work but could not touched him because Len was a good chief steward.

The phone on his spacious desk rang and when Cheeko picked up the receiver,a woman's voice over the other end sounded like sweet music to Cheeko's ear. He was dying to chat with any young "skirts" on that boring afternnon. Cheeko's office staff were mainly men and old ladies and he was in no mood to interact with them except for official business.

"Mr Cheeko my name is Kris and I am chief steward Len's girlfriend" Kris introduced herself to Len's boss over the phone. " I know you hate Len like crazy and want to get him a sack but you could not find fault with him or his work", " I know of something that you may want to get hold of and with that,you would be able to boot Len out of SQ", the evil Kris told Cheeko.

Kris had been living with Len in his flat for a year and they were lovers until one day when Len wanted to end their relationship. Furious,Kris sought revenge by calling up and giving information to Len's boss so he would be sacked.

Len over the years had kept a free collection of SIA duty free booze in his flat. On almost every flight, Len would steal a bottle of whisky or brandy or champagne etc and displayed them in his "bar". He was proud of his bar collection and would invite his friends for drinks at his home whenever he had the time to spare.

Coming back to the phone call she made to Cheeko,Kris informed him about Len's loot.Within the next few hours,the authorities raided Len's flat and confiscated all the stolen booze.

With the evidence in hand,SQ set up a disciplinary enquiry which found Len guilty of theft. Len was immediately sacked.

A few weeks later,Cheeko was seen with Kris,Len's ex girl friend,in his car heading for a hotel somewhere in the Johor Bharu,Malaysia.

Delayed passengers in refund move/Passengers had to sleep at airports.

I blogged about this subject because a passenger on a SIA delayed flight complained bitterly about its service recovery standard as "sucks" ( click here )and that the passengers were checked into hotels at 10 pm.( at least SIA paxs did not sleep at the airports) The reports below simply showed that SIA's service recovery is way superior than other airlines.

The Easyjet flight to Belfast was cancelled
Passengers flying back from Geneva to Northern Ireland have complained after they were charged for a flight cancelled by fog.
They were originally told they would get a free flight to Luton and then on to Belfast.

However, when they arrived at Luton they were told they would have to pay for the flight to Belfast.

Easyjet has now said it will refund the money. Passengers complained about a lack of information from the airline.

Many of them were forced to sleep on the floor of Luton Airport.........

Another story about passengers having to sleep at airports.


By Stephanie Lum

(KHNL) - During the blackout, some travelers described the situation at the airport as chaotic.

More than 30 inter-island and overseas flights out of O'ahu were canceled Sunday and that led to a rush of passengers at the Honolulu International Airport early Monday morning.

There were long lines, rows of bags, and thousands of anxious travelers.

It was a catch up day for the airlines accommodating folks whose flights were canceled.

"Our flight was canceled so this morning it was a mad house," said Berti Cardinaux.

"It is a little bit crowded at the airport we don't know if our flight will be delayed," said Susan Holey.

State Transportation officials say at least 200 stranded passengers spent the night in the airport's conference room.

"I slept at the airport last night and they tell me I am probably going to have to sleep at the airport again tonight," said Aaron Lowe. "No hotel is available and its real expensive right now."

Effects of flying on passengers and crews' health.

Whilst I am not an authority on the above subject,I can safely say that after 35 years of flying with the airline, my observation is that it does have an effect on the crews'overall health. However,there are crew whose general health are not affected too.

As far as I know,the oldest cabin crew of the jet era who is still alive and healthy is Mr. John Chan,an ex colleague of mine. He is probably around 68 years old (correct if I am wrong John,just in case you are reading this post) and had retired at age 60.

John is a very positive man who takes things easy,in fact too easy at times.He is a relaxed sort and trivial matters do not bother him. He still plays golf occasionally and has a supportive wife at least 10 younger than him.

There are others like John,take for example ex crew like Mike Lam,Edward Ang,Georgie Boy who are well into their late 60s,still healthy and kicking around.

On the other hand,there are more senior crew and ex crew who are not as healthy as those mentioned above.

Those,in my humble opinion,who are not as heathty are in the majority.Some of them are affected mentally while the majority physically.

Some of the crew did not have the opportunity to enjoy their retirement. They passed away with illnesses like cancer,heart attacks etc. at a relatively young age.Others were crippled with strokes and other physical sicknesses as well as mental illnesses.

I know of cases where young crew died of cancers,AIDS(indirectly caused by flying too,if you know what I mean)and heart problems etc. etc.

There is no statistic available on what is the average the crew died or the types of sicknesses they had.

As far as I know the latest of those who were struck by strokes were a chief steward and a retired flight engineer. The former was in his mid 40s and the latter was in his mid 60s. They both looked a picture of health before the tragedy. In fact the ex flight engineer was a triathlon athlete and had a stroke recently after a swim at STC.

There was an ex senior who was recently diagnosed with cancer of the lympth nodes. Another ex crew had prostrate cancer. Both are currently undergoing treatment.
Those who did not make it were IFS (inflight supervisors)Keneth Chan,David Chan, Vincent Loh( Admin officer who was flying for at least 10 yrs),Senior stewardesses Honey Leong,Grace and others. They all died of various forms of cancer.

As for the passengers,I do not know the "statistic" of how many were ill or died as a result of prolong flying.
Among passengers, long hours of flying had killed a couple of them on other carriers. They died of "economy class syndrome" and heart related dieseases.

Stewardesses having miscarriages is quite a common complaint. We do not know how many had miscarriges as a result of flying because the girls are too embarrassed to tell us.

Air Rage:

Air rage is also a result of long duration of flying. I was told by the experts air rage was caused by oxygen deprivation.

ALL AROUND THE WORLD, frequent flyers, territorial about armrests and fretful about footing, now secretly wonder if the person next to them is a business flyer or a berserk flyer!
And they may have good reason to be apprehensive. Unruly behavior in the skies has been increasing at an astonishing rate in both numbers and levels of hostility.
In well-publicized incidents, airline passengers have defecated on food carts, beaten up crew members, and even sexually assaulted their own seats!
Here are some examples of "air rage."

Passenger Mr. Finneran, a banker, was fined $50,000 by United Airlines after he assaulted an attendant and then defecated on a first-class food cart during a Buenos Aires-to-New York flight.

Passenger Mr. Guzman-Hernandez removed his pants and then "simulated having sex with the back of his own seat."
Passenger Mr. Misiak put his hands around the throat of a flight attendant and threatened her because she spilled a drink on him.

A passenger named Ms. Pennix grabbed a flight attendant's finger and bent it backward. Pennix explained to authorities that she didn't like the way the flight attendant told her to put her tray and seat in an upright position before landing.

Passenger Mrs. Levy grabbed a flight attendant by the arms and twisted her wrists. Levy was traveling with three children and explains that she lost her temper because her 20-month-old was crying, had wet pants, and there was no way to get to the bathroom.

Passenger Mr. Okada from Japan "allegedly urinated on the seats" then punched another passenger who told him to stop.

A group of drunken Irish tourists were apparently so unruly over the Atlantic that the crew enlisted the help of a wrestling team to restrain them.
Airline crews have begun to take drastic measures which sometimes have disastrous consequences.

In December 1998, an unruly passenger was aboard a Malov flight between Bangkok and Budapest. The crew and passengers tied the unruly man to his seat, then a doctor on board injected him with a tranquilizer.
The passenger died--tied to his seat with airplane headset cords!
Once the crew noticed that the unruly passenger had died, the plane made an unscheduled stop in Istanbul. Five witnesses (passengers) were detained by the Turkish police along with the doctor. After a 13-hour delay, the remaining 183 passengers winged away (and behaved themselves, in spite of their late arrivals and missed connections).
An autopsy in Istanbul showed that the unruly passenger had died due to the mixture in his blood of the tranquilizer and some other drug or alcohol.


WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?

The airlines must accept the major portion of the blame. Here's why, numbered 1 through 5:

1) Airline management is not responding to the need for in-flight security. Crews should not be in the position to be bouncers and bodyguards.
Every flight attendant I know has been the brunt of temperamental travelers. When I was exhausted myself at times, my lack of training in this area did not give me the skills to handle these passengers as well as I could have.

2) One more cause of air rage is certainly the in-flight cabin environment--a place that is high in toxic chemicals and allergens, and low in air pressure and oxygen.
Vincent Mark, M.D., an environmental physician in Santa Cruz, supports my theory. "Curtailment of fresh air in airplanes can be causing deficient oxygen in the brains of passengers, and this often makes people act belligerent, even crazy," said Dr. Mark in a telephone interview, adding "I'm positive about this, and it can be proven with a simple blood test."
Rage bubbles up at high altitude just like soft drinks fizz over at high altitudes. The link between air rage and poor air quality deserves a closer look. To start with, passenger unruliness began to rise some 20 years ago, coinciding with the cost-cutting practice of using recycled air instead of fresh air in commercial jets.

3) Still another culprit, high on the list of irritants for airline passengers, is cramped "sardine seating." Airline seats are now as small as seats on subway trains, and with many flights lasting longer, passengers feel they are packed like sardines in a can, or chickens in crowded cages. Is it any wonder they peck peevishly at those around them?
The last time I flew, I was in an aisle seat in economy. The passenger next to me was too large to fit in his seat, and his touching me all through the flight made me very uncomfortable. On the other side, everyone who passed, even the carts, bumped into me.
Airline executives (who travel in first class) have, to date, only pointed to excess luggage as the cause for surly passenger behavior. In testimony before Congress, airline management blamed air rage on the number and size of bags passengers bring on the plane.
Upon closer examination, it appears the airlines themselves have contributed to the luggage problem by removing coat closets, leaving little room for garment bags or heavy outer clothing.
And with eight percent of all airline baggage lost or stolen, travelers are increasingly reluctant to check their luggage.

4) The difference between passenger expectations for comfort and service and the reality of what awaits them on board, especially in coach class, is no doubt another contributor to the increase of air rage. Airline ads still show flight attendants answering passengers' every wish. This is not possible because all the airlines have downsized to save money.

5) Alcohol and altitude don't mix. The inside of the airplane cabin is 8,000 feet. Passengers are afffected by alcohol more quickly than they realize at high altitudes. Drinking dehydrates people, and this can lead to irritability, fatigue and tunnel vision. Since alcohol also lowers inhibitions, why should we be surprised that it also magnifies the emotional reaction to the difficult flying environment? Most air rage incidents have been alcohol related.While "unruly" passengers have been a problem within the airline industry for many years, they are just now coming to the attention of the public, the press and Congress. Even flight attendants are speaking up--in spite of the gag orders most have signed with their respective airlines.
Since passengers, not just crew, are being fondled and assaulted, Congress is investigating. But the chances of an effective response are slim considering the fact that minimal airplane air quality standards--debated in Congress since June 12, 1996--have yet to pass into law.

HERE'S WHAT TO DO

In case you find yourself on a flight with an air raged "unruly" passenger:

• Rather than confront the offender directly, leave your seat and seek out the purser or senior flight attendant. The purser is usually found in first class, so bypass the flight attendants in coach. Give the purser the row and seat number of the unruly passenger. Remain calm and communicate clearly.• And if you have a tendency to be an unruly passenger, here's what you might consider. The airplane is a microcosm of humanity. There are high-techies next to hikers, politicians next to pilgrims, and business flyers next to bawdy kids. Keep in mind that the trip is a challenge for everyone on board. Tolerance and gestures of gentility could make your flights more pleasant--for you, and for everyone around you as well.• Please! Think what you can do to make it easier for others. Say "please." Be kind. Act on your compassion.

Did stewardess Ronda marry the sultan's PA?....last episode.

Frankly if I blog beyond what is here then I would be adding my own version. The ending is not as exciting as one would expect but it was the true version...boh tong.

With Eddy's proposal,Ronda began to be less tolerant of Steve's behaviour. She saw the proposal as a way out of her choppy relationship with Steve. But then the "old time sake" feeling for Steve kept Ronda from accepting Eddy's proposal right away.

One day,something happened that made Ronda leave Steve. By sheer coincidence,she found him flirting with another stewardess.

Ronda quit the airlines soon after her breakup with Steve. She left for KL (Kuala Lumpur),Malaysia where she opened a shop selling branded and fashionable items and clothing.

I heard from reliable sources that Ronda and Eddy did not get married.They remained good friends and Eddy could have help her set up the shop in KL.

The reasons for not marrying Eddy remained a mystery. I have lost contact with both of them and have not heard anything from them or about them.

Note: Ronda was one of the most beautiful girls SQ ever had. She was also a conscientious worker,always cheerful and bubbly.Ronda was generous too and had once tipped a chauffeur in London 100 Pound Sterling for driving us back to Gloucester.

Did stewardess Ronda marry the Sultan's P.A.? ..continues

One of the things Ronda related to me was how their conversation was interrupted by a call from the royal family and Eddy was summoned to attend to a little princess.
At the time Ronda was there,they were staying at a posh London hotel. One whole floor of the hotel was reserved for the members of the royal family.

When Eddy left his suite,Ronda was wondering whether it was a test of her honesty.The suite was filled with expensive gold and diamond studded watches and gifts meant for the royal families' friends.The were lots of cash,stacks of crisp 20 pounds notes and US dollars lying around in the opened suitcases.No one was in the room except Ronda. There was a great temptation to pocket some of the watches and cash,Ronda secretly confessed to me but then on second thought,she thought it might be a test for her by Eddy.
When Eddy came back to the suites,he teased Ronda about pocketing the gifts and money. It confirmed to Ronda that it was a deliberate attempt by Eddy to test her honesty when he left her alone with all the luxuries around her.
Eddy showed Ronda the hidden cameras which secretly taped her when she was alone in the suites.
Ronda felt insulted at seeing herself being taped and chided Eddy for doubting her integrity and honesty.She was so angry that she packed her belongings and dashed out of the suites.

I was told that the sultan had a multi storey air conditioned car park to house his expensive cars back home.
The royal families travelled on chartered flights most of the time with dozens of body guards and governess (maids) to care for the kids.
During their shopping spree,they would spent millions of dollars at one go. Meals in the palaces were cooked by specially trained chefs and each meal would cost thousands of dollars, with much of the food to be wasted later on.

Eddy felt bad at the way he treated Ronda and he called her at her hotel to apologise and later followed by a bouquet of flowers sent to her room.
After some persuasion and apology,Ronda was back with Eddy.They had a beautiful and memorable time in London,albeit too short. What went on romantically between the two,Ronda did not tell me.

Over the next few weeks, I met Ronda on another flight and this time she told me Eddy had proposed to her and she would not be marrying him until she had solved her main problem and that was her steward boyfriend.
Ronda and her flight steward boyfriend steve had been dating for the last few years and although they had planned to get married,Steve's drinking habit and bad temper were obstacles to their relationship.
Now Eddy's proposal was a great temptation for Ronda to ditch Steve.But then,after all these years with Steve,there was a little hesitation on Ronda's part to leave Steve for Eddy.
Will Ronda finally leave Steve and marry the rich and handsome Eddy? We will find out more later on.......

Did stewardess Ronda marry the Sultan's P.A.?

My supervisor informed me the Personal Assistant to the His Royal Highness wanted to downgrade himself to the business class.
In this sort of situation,the airlines would not mind as the PA's seat was in the first class. The PA was a handsome tan looking well built man of about 35 years old. Later on during the flight he was frank and honest with me. He told me he was eyeing the stewardess working in the business class.
Ronda was an exceptionally gorgeous looking girl of about 24 years of age. She was the most attractive girl on this flight from Singapore to London. No wonder Eddy the PA was interested in her.
The moment,Eddy downgraded himself to the business class,Ronda knew he was keen on her.
It was a long flight to London,almost 14 hours and the flight was 80% full except for the first and business class. It was during the flight that Eddy made a quick move.By the time,we landed at Heathrow and just before he deplaned,Eddy cheekily winked at me as if to tell me he had already made a date with Ronda in London.
We had a 3 day stay at London Gloucester Hotel on this trip. Most of us crew went shopping at Oxford and Regent Street as there was a big summer sales.
We ate most of the time either at London Chinatown or at Queensway except for Ronda who was busy with Eddy.
On the last night before our flight back to Singapore, Ronda called me and wanted to come to see me in my room.
Over coffee in my room,Ronda told me of her adventure with Eddy. I could see the sparkle in her eyes as she related her story to me. She was indeed deeply in love with Eddy.
Ronda and I could get along very well as friends and colleagues and she would never lied to me about the things she told me. Some of the insight I had about the lives of the royalties were fascinating. Ronda told lots of things which she heard about the princesses,princes and their families from Eddy.
A layman like you and I could not fathom the types of lives they lead and how they spent their wealth. It was incredible and I have to thank Ronda for it.
...to be continued
