If you get an LHR or FRA based cabin crew I also find the service to be several notches above those based at IAD, ORD, etc. Just my humble opinion...
You must have a lot of patience and tolerance for mediocre service and I wish I had that virtue. In less than a year, I have gotten food poisoning from UA p.s. F meals several times up to a point that I'm only flying AA F on the transcon markets from now on. To make matters worse, UA's long-haul C is beyond pathetic, as even US Airways' Envoy Class easily defeats it (well to be fair only on A330 aircraft with the new Envoy Suites).

I do entirely agree with you that UA's LHR-based cabin crews are phenomenal and they consistently deliver top service.
