Should Passengers Be Allowed Recline Their Seats On A Plane?

(over shorter flights that is) So there you are, just after settling into your seat on the airplane when all of a sudden the headrest in front of you starts to edge in your direction. What do you do? Do you just sit there and say nothing or do you have a little word through the peephole between the two seats? I know it's only a couple of inches but it is fairly annoying all the same, seeing as you haven't much space in the first place. Well this is what Dermot and Dave wanted to find out, after reading about a recent flight Gemma Collins was on from Athens to London. The former Towie star was trying to catch a few z's but the lady in front of  her had the seat reclined (supposedly). Collins lost it with her saying "what the f**k are you doing babe?". The hosts took their sides of the debate with 'Team Dave' firmly in the "decline to recline" camp and 'Team Dermot' staunchly supporting the "recline when you like" movement. In what was a landslide victory for Mr Moore, we did learn a lot from our listeners (both sides), especially some important tips on how to beat the recliners at their own game.
