bit weird...I wouldn't mind sitting at the bar but wouldn't one need a seatbelt ?
sounds like a publicity stunt.
I think they are also doing a "10 pound Pom" seat to Australia but there are only 300 seats and you have to have a work permit.
Most young 'Poms' who do get here seem to give up the idea of work and you need to negotiate your away around the drunken ones in Kings Cross or Bondi.
