Catch of the Day fell into the wrong net / kids in the nose

Opted for the 'Lemon Sole' Catch of the Day en route to SFO yesterday - it was lovely, but what I got wasn't Lemon Sole. Wasn't going to say anything as I enjoyed it, but when the crew member was clearing the table, she said - "Hope you don't mind me asking but was what we served you actually Cod?" I explained it was, but still delicious, and she said they'd all be crowded around the fish in the galley thinking "This isn't what's printed on the menu..."

Guess my Catch of the Day jumped nets at the last minute...

As for the crew on BA285 - impeccable service and attention throughout the flight. And my first experience of "kids" in the nose. Did annoy me though how the 8/9 year old in front of me, in 1K, with his young sister alongside, seemed to do pretty much whatever they wanted all flight. Their Granny was travelling with them in 5K, but mostly left them alone. The youngster opened his Macbook up as we taxied to the runway at LHR and put his headphones on to watch a movie, immediately after being made by the crew to switch if off and put it away.

And within 10 seconds of landing he was unbelted and on his I-Phone to friends. Of course, the crew are still seated so saw none of it. Just annoys me (I don't know why!).

Probably 'cos they got 1A/K before I got a look-in, despite checking bang on 72 & 24hrs before take-off. They certainly dont have Gold status - so not sure how????
