Man, 20, speaks out after Ryanair issue savage dig at him over legroom

A student from Greater Manchester has gone viral after he became the latest victim of Ryanair's Twitter account. Noah Ellis, 20, from Altrincham, flew out with the budget airline to Krakow in Poland with a group of 10 pals on Thursday.

Shortly before take-off Noah, who is 6ft 6in tall, tweeted the firm with a picture of him wedged in his seat and asked if they could provide more legroom without having to pay extra. "Please can there be bigger seats without paying 20 quid?" he said.

After landing, he found the company had simply responded by cutting and pasting his head onto a picture of a child in a car booster seat.
