Can anyone clear up the question as to whether their are stairs on any planes that lead to a downstairs toilet.
Poor Jade is convinced she has been on one.
The film 'Airforce One' definitely had stairs on the plane.

PS - the reason I am asking is that Jade has taken a right grilling this morning in the garden - firstly by PJ about her qualifications as a dental nurse - he would make a good nazi interrogater - then they all took the p**s out of her because she thinks she has been on a plane with stairs on it.

It is certainly payback time - with a vengeance.

Dont like Jade myself but the bullying is unbelievable this year.

Yes there are.

I went on an Airtours plane to Florida last year and it had the toilets downstairs. It was quite a big area with about 6 toilets in it with a place to sit down.

I'm really starting to get hacked off by PJ's treatment of Jade he seems to be really trying to pull a hatchet job on her. I don't understand why he feels he has to undermine her at every oppotunity, she may not be the brightest cherry on the tree but does he really need to show her up this much. Although if the rumours are true about the way that he has treated women in the past I suppose it's to be expected.

Thankyou Daisyanne

I had a sneaky feeling she was right - she has gone to the diary room now - I wonder if they will apologise for being wrong.

Possibly an Airbus A330-200.

"Airtours International has the first A330's in the world to feature downstairs toilets. Five of the seven on board are situated on a downstairs deck, accessed via a stairway at the centre of the aircraft. Putting these toilets downstairs makes the main cabin a more pleasant environment."

I hope so. I totally agree. I'm not keen on Jade, but she doesn't deserve this. Bullying in this environment must be much worse too as she's got nowhere to hide and no-one to turn to.

I suspect if Jade asked in the Diary Room BB would say ' BB can't become involved in Hm's arguments' .........

As soon as I read about Jade's comment (Plane's with downstairs toilets) I knew they existed. How thick are they!!!!

PJ and Alex are way out of order, Poor Jade!!! can't do right for doing wrong.

I hope that PJ and Alex get their just deserts, they are real bullies and I would'nt be supprised to see Jade in tears again by the end of the day if they keep up this continious bullying.

I hope she does'nt walk. It would be nice to see her win it now and wipe those smug smiles of their faces. They are digging a very deep hole for themselves.

Seems unlikely BB would get involved with the plane debate even when we all know Jade is right. It would be great on Friday to see PJ's face tho!

Also Jumbo jets (747s) have an upper floor at the front. If Jade was travelling on the upper floor, there would have been a "downstairs" to go to.

I am almost speechless.... She should know, she's done enough bullying herself

Yeah, but several wrongs don't make a right. Bullying is always wrong no matter who does it or why.

I dont class what Jade did as bullying, its more bitching behind someones back, which is what most hm's do anyway.
Bullying is when you belittle or taunt someone to their face or physically hurt someone.. Usually when the bullier is in the company of 'mates'.

You are absolutely right, bullying is always wrong and I should have said that. I'm just a bit fed up with Jade's every nastiness being defended/explained away. Sorry.

Whoops, me again, forgot to say I think PJ should stop now (nasty little man) he has made his point (right or wrong). In fact evryone has made up their minds, said their pieces etc. (including Jade). Maybe they should all shut up now

we are excusing her, we are saying that the treament she is getting is not fitting, and has descended into a witchunt.
anyway Jade was getting this treatment from the media and some of the public after only 1 day in the house, when she hadnt actually done anything wrong at all!.

Back to the original topic, Jade is probably correct about the downstairs toilet, see below.

The tremendous operating efficiency of the A330/A340 Family is enhanced by voluminous underfloor holds for generating cargo revenue, with room for 60 to 100 per cent more freight than a Boeing 747. The unrivalled operating economics of the A330/A340 Family mean that an aircraft can even operate profitable cargo flights without a single passenger on board, as demonstrated by some airlines which have flown regional overnight freight-only services with the A330, after a full day's passenger service. The voluminous holds can also be used for other innovative Airbus options, such as sleeper cabins with full length beds for up to 10 passengers, or a separate washroom area below the Economy class cabin which creates space for up to ten additional Economy class seats.
Airbus offers the four-engine A340-300 with versions of the CFM International CFM56-5C, while the A340-500/600 are powered by the Rolls-Royce Trent 500 series. The twin-engine A330 is available with General Electric's CF6-80E1, Pratt & Whitney's PW4000 or Rolls-Royce's Trent 700

I wonder if BBLB will mention that she is right, and the rest were wrong, Ha Ha Ha.

For all your fact, there are no planes which fly to the dom republic like the Airbus,
I regularly visit the Republic due to having family there, so Jade is not telling the truth at all
FACT
Look it up on the airlines and you'll see
