DYKWIA- more frequently than I'd expect, there is a Gold member in a neighbouring seat who for some reason starts telling me how he travels so much and is a BA Gold and 'gets lots of benefits'.
I don't tell them about GGL (I don't particularly wish to deflate their ego trip). Then the cabin crew comes to greet me occasionally, and I get this really strange look from the Goldie chap.

Metal cards should really become the standard, sending them back for recycling would be much better than the current cut them up.
No thanks from someone with metal allergy. Gold is fine, but many other metals cause my skin to get very messy (I recently lost one of my fingerprints from a computer mouse which I thought was OK). I cut them (plastic ones) up and chuck them in the recycle bin so they still get recycled, assuming the recycling service is doing what they say they do.
