Love BA onboard service, hate connecting at T5. Especially when you're stopped at conformance at T-35, only to see at T-15 that the aircraft you've been offloaded from by the conformance BS is delayed by 45 minutes and you would have had ample of time to make it, instead of being stuck with a 3-hour delay.
+1 to this
and of course once you're airside again, absolutely impossible to find someone who might "on-load" you again. Has happened to me too often to count, which is why for me conformance is a big fail.
