From what one reads here on FT, it seems to me that the Golds are the PITAs. But if anyone else has credible evidence to the contrary, I would be interested to read it.

But what do I know? I'm an ignorant cheapskate peasant Silver, according to BA Status. I wonder how things would look if salaryman status, bank balances, mortgages and the like were brought into play? Or indeed, actual social status?

It's all become very tacky and sad. Some people are just bloody rude, and that encompasses the complete spectrum from Elite to Blue.
