One can only assume that the quality of aircraft maintenance has fallen. Four trips out of four so far since mid Dec all with technical problems. Am in T1 lounge venting my anger on the chocolate biscuits as I type. </font>
Have you ever considered YOU could be the cause of all these technicals?
Why not make an experiment... don't travel on BA and see how many technicals you experience then! Ha ha, I solved the problem

(tongue firmly in cheek)
More seriously – this is rather unfortunate but I bet none of the incidents beat my 1 1/2 hour delay due to a “mobile phone user in the toilet” (as quoted from the pilot), on the previous (arriving) flight, who killed the electronic toilet flush and a few other systems. Now that’s a classic!
