No more of that "Are you on that ruddy flying thing again?"
(in fairness she was very understanding about it all, my solo trips and she's a fantastic Mum to Jnr P

It's hard to believe that this thread is now more than three years ago, but my favourite Flyertalk thread and a Flyertalk BA classic is the highly contested question of whether you can wear shorts in First class... http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/briti...rts-first.html

I'm surprised this one hasn't been posted yet (or I missed it!). Fabulous way to spend half an hour if you haven't read it yet..

Ah! Which of you remember the Palm Tree saga? Some travel agent got bumped from F to J as hs connection from ZRH or GVA was late. There was little wit and very very bad humour but it was a classic piece of DYKWHI - I guessed that he was a Travel Agent on an AD75 or whatever they were called back then - all this took place years ago. He claimed to have successfully sued BA and bought a Palm Tree.
Can anyone else recall this? I wouldn't know what the thread was titled.

Though not strictly a BA thread, this trip report on the Leeds-Whitby Coastliner will be well received by many on this board, and is in my opinion a classic of the genre....
