That's a good point.
It would suit me fine for the service to continue as it is but it seems the majority are unhappy with the complimentary offering. BA have decided to increase the selection of food items available and as we all know you don't get owt for nowt they've decided to bring in buy on board instead.
I can't see me using the service. I only accepted a G&T as I was always told it was rude to refuse a drink from your host.
