Julia, the air hostess view 1
So there I was in the early sixties, a spotty faced schoolboy sitting at the dining table minding my own business.
My mother was in the kitchen when there was a knock on the kitchen door.
It was Julia. She was the daughter of our rather posh, prim and proper neighbours.
Julia was in her late twenties and was, in my eyes extremely good looking. She always dressed really smart and had recently given up office work to become an air stewardess. I'd missed watching her coming and going to work in her perfect office wear, however seeing her in her stewardess uniform more than made up for it.
"Oh hello Julia. Come in and have a chat, I haven't seen you for awhile," said my mum.
My mum made tea and poured a cup for Julia.
"Now then dear tell me how you're getting on as an air hostess?"
"Well generally I've really enjoyed it. The uniform is so smart and I really love wearing it. It does seem to attract attention.
But yesterday I had a terrible and embarrassing experience."
"What happened that was so bad?"
At this point I stopped minding my own business and listened avidly to Julia's experience.
I decided to keep quiet and keep out of view so as not to intimidate her.
Julia began, "We were flying back from Vienna and I noticed a group of three young men occupying a row of seats right at the back of the aircraft They seemed a little full of themselves. One of them stopped me and said how he liked my uniform.
