Bless you. Thank God someone said that. I really am beginning to think that either my expectations are so low as to be non-existent, or people have become demanding beyond reason. I'll bet that were you to go to any of the masses downstairs and invite them to come and participate in this Filthfest, they'd be up those stairs faster than a rat up a rope.

As I have said before, each time that I go into that Lounge I am staggered by how many people are in it so assume that a cull will be made before too long as this cannot be sustainable. Every time I get a text from BA asking me where I am and to mark my Lounge experience. The other day, like a dolt, I pressed the wrong number assuming 1 was best when it was worst. My phone rang not 5 minutes later and it was the BA Lounge Manager (she did say her title but I do not recall it) asking if she could come and have a word. She was out in a flash. When I realised what I had done, I apologised
profusely for wasting her time. The point of this is to say - if the food is so disgusting, downgraded, or unfit for Flyertalk Poster's consumption - ask for Her or Him depending on shift. Nothing can be done about it here. You are either preaching to the converted or those who think that it is fit for purpose.

My Best Friend's partner is French and he loves it. The other day they were serving a rather good Gigondas which he enjoyed with his Burger. My friend had the Macaroni cheese as he like I does not count "carbs" (God Help Us) as he's as thin as a rake. He said Middle Class it may be, delicious it is.

One's taste is one's own but this I will say - the very sight of all that Champagne open and waiting is enough to make my mouth water - and judging from the numbers of empties that they wheel away constantly, so do lots of people.

As it is my belief that there will be a huge clear out in the Lounge department based on nothing but common sense given the expense involved (they'll probably hoick up the quaifying levels), I am enjoying it whilst it lasts. Still, that won't worry too many people here as they're all "voting with their feet", and I will be able to sit without having to ask people to remove their bags and baggage from the chairs.
