As for visiting First class - I agree that F should visit J - not the other way around. There is a sign that says 'First Class Only' at the divider.
BA allows a visitor into First for a drink. I don't like that.
The water running out is not good. Was that just in the J or F lavatories? Seems more of a mistake rather than cost.
Sorry.

Water Bottle issue: Use a funnel to refill, or fill it in a glass. It is unhygenic to refill "bottle-to-bottle". Do you want a drink from a 1L bottle that has touched few other people's personal bottles - especially when some people tend to bite or suck on bottle openings?
Tap Water issue: No water throughout the plane. Not exactly good during H1N1 times as germs are spread thru unwashed hands.
First Class Visit: I hate to start this since it would open up alot of issues, but seriously, what gives the right of F pax to visit J then? Also, there is a possible social class/racial discrimination issue here.
Please search the forum, there are numerous examples: couples in J asking their Southeast-Asian nannies to come up from Y to help with their screaming children, thats OK. Couples pairs seperated in F/J, completely ok to go to F for a visit. Parents and children split in two classes? OK to visit. These examples seems to be valid reasons when the paxs concerned are of a certain nationality or race.
Average HK Chinese joe dressed in an A&F t-shirt and sneakers (me) taking a very short visit with their travel companion in F class? no, sorry cant do. I regret not wearing my Kiton suit packed in my luggage.
Based on some of the comments here, does that mean next time I shall ask the FAs to kick out nannies or children crossing cabin curtains? Or kick out someone from F heading down to J or Y since he/she is literally not in their paid cabin?
