I'm sure your right, Guy. The UK (formerly known as Great Britain when it was not something to do with Europe) has much to apologise for.

However, please tread gently in this Forum. Some of us are cognisant of the successful burning down of a White House and little things like that.

And I have seen numerous slack jaws at US airports, wondering where their flight is departing from. At least BA 0216 always leaves from B-44 (for higher tier pax). Perhaps no other airline dares to use it?
