I appreciate this is a radical suggestion Ian but could you have not have had a polite word with them to convey your annoyance?

Maybe, but they didn't, nor do they investigate when the woman kept jamming the back of her seat into my wife's head.

If you're that desperate then buy a neck pillow or upgrade.

Neck pillows are one of the great myths of life

This. I have absolutely no idea how they are meant to make you more comfortable.

Will only do it on a night flight if the person behind me is reclining as well.

Doing it in any other time makes you an arsehole of the highest order.

....they do, but your drink tray takes a bashing, especially when you’ve got a kiddie jolting back and forwards. Plays hell with the G&T.

I’m 6”3, the seat is going back as soon as take off is done. I pay my money, deal with it.

What are your thoughts on it?

I only ever fly Club Class, so I've no idea what you're talking about ?

I'd be knocking your seat constantly through the flight.

Deal with it.

never ever let a recline-ite sleep, always get up to the toilet using his chair like a rowing machine, its better than a inflight movie.

Don't do it on short flights (less than 5 hours) but will do it on longer flights, especially overnight.
As my seat is designed to go back, that means I have paid for the space just behind my head, just as the person in front of me has paid for the space just behind their head.
