Right - you provide the gin and I'll teach you how to souffl. Then we can eat them with all those teaspoons that I've nicked from off Tristar1999's tray when he wasn't looking!

"Our customers on UK Domestic routes have told us that they prefer to stir their tea with the shaft of their fork" in the interests of decency I wont go any further with this one.
There's a pile of them.in the drawer that the mugs are stored in. The crew should be giving you a spoon with your drink.

Deal and I promise not to provide Gordon's or Bombay Sapphire

Better not leave it too long or the spoons will have been enhanced to those horrid plastic stirrers that are served at the local greasy spoon or motorway service stations.

Nothing wrong with a mug than a cup for a hot drink. They can usually hold more, keep the drink warmer for longer and much stronger so less prone to breakages. The only thing I don't like about the CE mugs as they have a print of the London skyline across them which makes them look cheap.

The new CE mugs are plain. The old CE cups had various scenes from across the UK shown on them not just London skyline.

Well, Royal Doulton is Scandinavian now (or Nordic to be precise). The company was bought by Fiskars (you know the scissors with orange handles).

Understand less than 20% of the occupants in CE actually Pay for Their own seat. The Bulk are Corporate, Awards or Upgraded Awards.

You drink coffee on BA? What are you, some sort of revolutionary who dumped tea off a ship in Boston Harbor? I'm horrified, just horrified . . .

And for the record, I was one of those kids who "Dumped the tea," at the Boston Tea Party Ship and Museum. Possibly more than once. Maybe not a good forum to talk about this . . .

Where do you get your data to make this assertion?

No Dearest - they were many things but they were never tacky - and being tacky didn't stop people squirreling them away. I just thought that they let everything get cold.

Uncle Dude -

Where on earth did you get that from? - this is not AA flying to Hawaii.

I liked the scenes, felt very "British". As mentioned, not so wild about the shape from a physics point of view, but I liked the graphics.
