How darn un-delightful to hear that not-from-the-concentrate has been enhanced away!

Strictly speaking it never was 'fresh orange juice' in my opinion, as I interpret fresh orange juice to be 'fresh de portocale' - squeezed from oranges (and then refrigerated and/or ice added) and not gone through other processes, but anyway, even the Tropicana type is much better than the slightly artificial-tasting from-the-concentrate orange juice.

Sure, from-the-concentrate is still better than the entirely artificial-tasting drink that Malev malevolently called orange juice, but I would miss the Tropicana type.

I don't drink alcohol when I'm travelling (I specialise in purchasing and carrying them, not in my body, while travelling), and I wish BA catered better to the needs of the abstainers, particularly conditional abstainers like me, who would drink but not when travelling for reasons of avoiding jetlag and dryness, instead of just pandering essentially only to the needs of their drinking customers.

Grrrrrrrrr. Especially considering I have two LGW departures coming up very soon.

Fine! If BA wants to annoy me ( ), I'll just buy some from Boots and BYO. I know Boots carry Tropicana airside... or can I buy some oranges airside somewhere and squeeze them if I can just find a knife sharp enough to cut them in the lounge?

I guess oranges can't be brought through security due to its liquid contents being (hopefully) above 100ml and not fitting into a 1 litre plastic bag well?

Anywhere airside at LGW South that sells genuine freshly squeezed orange juice?

(Says me who chose the hotels at the destination partially on the basis that juicing machines are available at breakfast...)
