Aer Lingus now worse than Ryanair

Recently booked Ryanair to the Canaries outbound and Aer Lingus back, better flight times. Up until the "Always getting better" campaign I've avoided Ryanair like the plague and used Aer Lingus but have used Ryanair a bit since and have been reasonably happy. But after these last two flights I doubt I'll ever set foot on an Aer Lingus flight again.

First, the outward Ryanair flight. Pleasant happy crew, lovely uniforms, all the announcements over the PA clear and concise. The food and drinks were pretty OK, limited but enough to be getting on with on a 4 hour flight. Overall an extremely pleasant experience.

Now the return Aer Lingus flight. The cabin crew could be described, at best, as a shambles. It started badly when an elderly female passenger asked one of the cabin crew a question about her checked in bags. I don't know what is was but the minute the passenger turned to go to her seat the crew member said something under her voice to another crew member and they both started sniggering. All cabin crew were scruffy, loose ties, one guy wearing a shirt a couple of sizes too small.
General attitude to passengers was pretty abrupt. Announcements over the PA on all subjects were inaudible. The selection of food was very poor, they had everything on the in flight info sheet but nothing very appetising.
I was a bit put out when I saw one cabin crew member reach into the toilet and take out a wedge of hand towels and use them as napkins.
On the toilet point, there are 2 toilets up front on the Airbus but one seemed to be out of action. However it was available for use by the cabin crew, the pilots and some other person known to the crew who spent the flight in the jump seat section glugging back the vino. The closure of this toilet for the exclusive use of the crew meant the ordinary punters had to queue up which caused confusion when the crew actually got out and tried to do something.
A nasty experience and one that I've no intention of reliving.
It wasn't just me as the topic of conversation amongst passengers waiting for their cases later was the unpleasantness of the flight.
I suppose one company wants the business and the other just couldn't give a damn.
