All they need to do is somehow check the previous inbound flight via the reservations or check-in system. Everything's linked together. It's not difficult.

I just don't think BA think of it as important enough. It's not leaving London, so they don't consider the next flight much. Are they forgetting that they are trying to be one of the front running major European hubs? After all, we're not just talking about domestic connections here, but also from CE/CW/F to Euro Traveler. Same thing.
