No we don't, but we regularly ask you to put it in the baggage gauges to show us it fits.
Provided your bag falls within the size guidelines shown on ba.com you can carry up to 23kg in your hand baggage. You must be able to lift it into the overhead bin unaided.
However it sounds as if your bags could be oversize. If it is you could find it removed from you and checked into the hold. We're monitoring hand baggage sizes and numbers of bags very closely at present as flights are very full and excessive hand baggage can cause delays.
