If you're traveling regionally on CX or anywhere not North America, you're only allowed 50kg in jcl, including the DM allowance. I've gone over by 3 kg and they generally won't charge. If you hit 5 kg or above, that's when they might charge.

and even then, for some destinations (i.e. HKGLON, replace LON with any European destination desired) BA will permit me 3x32kg in Y (4x32 in J/F) (plus award me 100% mileage on deep discount Y fares.)
