Passenger moans parent lets baby's feet dangle on lap while feeding tot on flight – but who is in the right?
IT'S an age-old problem every passenger is accustomed to - another flyer invading your cramped plane seat. One flyer wanted to know if he was the problem after 2 A Reddit user posted a photo of the baby invading his space Credit: Reddit Posting on the Reddit page r/CasualUK the user adopted a somewhat satirical tone when he posted a photo of a baby's feet touching his leg. He captioned the post: "On a flight and a passenger keeps putting his bare feet on me." Fellow Reddit users took it as an opportunity to make jokes about the all-too-common situation. One wrote: "Those piggies need to go to the market" while another wrote "They need Eenie-Meanying immediately." Read more News A lot of the jokes relied on baby puns to make light of the situation as one wrote: "They need to grow up." Another said: "I believe the agreed etiquette in these situations is to blow raspberries on them." Others had some slightly more outrageous suggestions, using the opportunity to comment absurd ideas for how to handle the situation. One Reddit users commented: "I would assert dominance by picking them up and using them as a phone, putting on a stupid voice." Most read in The Sun Another similar suggestion reads: "Completely unacceptable. Have you considered threatening to put him in the overhead locker?" There was a clear divide among commenters between those who like children, and those who don't.

Holidaying Brits warned ‘don't drink beer' in Spain as 42C African heat plume strikes – map shows scorched resorts
BRITS holidaying in Spain have been warned not to the drink the beer amid a scorching 42-degree heatwave from Africa. Areas of the country roasted under extreme heat over the weekend - and the balmy temperatures look set to stay. 6 Brits on holiday in Spain have been advised to steer clear of the booze Credit: Alamy 6 Tourists have been basking in plus-40 temperatures Credit: Alamy 6 The forecast for the coming week shows the high temperatures hanging around Credit: x./@AEMET_Esp Some spots were so hot the state forecaster, Aemet, was forced to issue weather warnings. Yellow and amber alerts came into force on Sunday - with Emergency guidance was issued to tourists and locals alike advising them on how to stay safe when it's sweltering. One suggestion likely unpopular with read more in world news The advice is to drink water often, even if you're not thirsty, and avoid both alcohol and caffeine. It was also recommended to "dress smart", which means wearing loose-fitting clothes - particularly cotton or linen if possible. Lighter colours reflect the sun so can help you to stay cool. Another point is to simply stay indoors during times of peak temperatures, and certainly to avoid any strenuous activity under the sun. Most read in The Sun The authorities also issued a reminder about the signs of heatstroke, so people know when they need to find help. Fatigue, dizziness, headaches, confusion and nausea are all common symptoms of heatstroke which, in severe cases, can be fatal. Mum who nearly died after falling sick in Spain issues warning after anti-sickness pills left her 'acting possessed' Houses should be shuttered up during the day, it was advised, but and vents opened at night to allow a cooling airflow. And finally, people were urged to keep a close eye on anyone vulnerable. The elderly, people with chronic illnesses or those living alone are particularly at risk of heat-related complications, so communities were encouraged to work together to check in on them. There was a special mention for tourists, who are more likely to end up in hospital during heatwaves than seasoned locals. The culprit behind the immense heat was a plume of hot air which blew over from north Africa. Once it reached Spain , the air stayed hot thanks to clear skies and atmospheric stability, Aemet explained. Monday was predicted to bring more of the same the heat, with some areas again expected to top 40 degrees. The thermometer is predicted to remain high through this week, and above average for the rest of June. And there is also expected to be less rain than usual, meaning it will be dry all round for the country. However, there could be a temporary let-up from localised mid-week storms in the northwest and centre of the country. This follows a particularly hot May, with many locations seeing record-breaking temperatures - particularly in southern and western areas of Spain. 6 Brits have been basking in the balmy weather Credit: SWNS 6 People were specifically advised to avoid drinking alcohol as it dehydrates the body Credit: Getty 6 Authorities urged people to be careful in the sun
