No improvement on portion sizes on the BA502 LHR-LIS last Thursday ... two finger sandwiches only (didn't there used to be three?) and the scone (singular, none other on offer) was miniscule ... though we did get the hot towels, nice nuts and some tasty fruit cake ... oh, and lots of (cold) bubbly!
Most of my fellow travellers seemed to be eating salads and fruit plates (as in plates of fruit, not the other way round!) ... were these 'special' meals? They certainly looked more substantial than the CE Tea Service ...
