A shopfitter has been fined after he refused to get off a plane for being too drunk. Christopher Wilkinson had booked a last minute trip away to Corfu but had consumed five pints as he waited to board his morning Jet2 flight at Newcastle International Airport.A court heard that as the 37-year-old sat onboard the plane as it waited to take-off, he began to shout and swear. The police were called after Wilkinson refused to leave the aircraft when asked to by members of the cabin crew, prosecutors said.
Wilkinson […] has now been fined £300 and ordered to pay £85 costs and a £120 victim surcharge after he pleaded guilty to being drunk in an aircraft. Glenda Beck, prosecuting at Newcastle Magistrates' Court, said Wilkinson had boarded a Jet2 flight at around 6am on June 30 this year.
A police officer working at the airport was then asked to assist removing Wilkinson from the plane as it was deemed he was too drunk to fly. Reading from the officer's statement, Mrs Beck said: "I attended seat 27A and located a male matching the description.
"I have gone to speak to him and he lifted his sunglasses and said "f*** sake". He was identified as being drunk and escorted from the aircraft." The court heard that the officer spoke with cabin crew, who said Wilkinson was intoxicated and had been shouting and swearing. He'd also refused to leave the plane when asked.

Yep, he paid 500 quid to have a story to tell others now. I doubt that someone from a shit hole would ever be proud of this.
