OT but since you mention it, I must say that I really do miss those airline decks of playing cards! I spent many a childhood flight playing a game of patience on my plane tray table and no electronic game comes anywhere near. For some reason, decks of playing cards always have a very unique smell which I still love and I do think that they make for lovely presents and collectibles! OT hat off

An unfortunately example on this particular forum. When they started the new CW food concept, BA finally briefly introduced salt and pepper shakers instead of their hideous sachets. Sadly, they discontinued it almost immediately, not because people were "nicking" them but rather because the airline considered it an unnecessary expense to collect, sort and refill them.
