Is this what you mean by "non-existant"? If so it is excellent service (if only more flights did that).
It was BA 108 departing DXB around 10:30AM. To give an idea about non-existent service - I had to press call button twice and I received the response atleast 15 minutes thereafter. What really surprised me was the fact that service was excellent on LHR-DXB leg and just disappeared on the way back...
