    About time, we were promised this type of legislation for a while now. This one particularly annoys me when using the Ryanair website:

    - Tick boxes for insurance or additional services are ticked 'yes' by default, trapping the consumer into buying unwanted items or being included on spam mailing lists

    Also if you deselect these items and have to press the 'back' button on your browser to correct a mistake or something they all get re-selected!

    I'd welcome this tbh. Anything to stop Ryanair taking over the world.
