Sorry for all those that this affects.
Well perhaps the rule about removing food and drink needs to be enforced now the strike is no more. Anyone contravening could have their GC removed. This is throwing the baby out with the bathwater. I have been a GC holder for 3.5 years and a GGL holder for 2. I have used Open doors twice in that time. I didn't pig out in the lounge at LGW when I was flying the horrors of a charter flight as BA didn't fly to where I needed to be, and I didn't remove anything from the lounge. I suspect that the removal of the benefit has nothing whatever to do with the hoarders and everything to do with freelance accountancy consultants who get a bonus for every £ they save. Of course the losses from this are more difficult to monetize so the consultancy are in a win/win whereas BA could end up on a lose/lose
