Flew new first on a 747 LHR-JNB and noticed that the lavatory shade was bolted shut. My last few BA F flights have been in old F, and I can't say for sure if the previous new first flights were that way or not.

My partner and I love gazing at the plains of Africa while peeing. Why did BA bolt the shade shut? Peeping pigeons?

(I'm also surprised that this doesn't seem to have been previously discussed here, so far as my search skills can find.)
