Ah, but by and large, I thought we'd decided the nub of the problem was passengers going XXX-LON-YYY.
Those who know the score (i.e. the status passengers) will largely have the ability to know if they don't pick up a scotch pie at Greggs then they will go unfed from the provinces to the centre of the universe that is London, so even if the pickings at Glasgow are slim, there's no problem (aside from the impact on their coronary system).
The big (first-world) issue is when you have Scotland-LON-(random s. Europe) in Y with a short connection. You paid £5 more to go BA than EasyJet non stop expecting 'full service' and you end up 6hrs in with a stomach that is convinced its throat has been cut & tied with no solution.
