£500????? Do you really think so?
I'd write all the drivel they want for that sort of money.
TTmex my Lamb - I hope that you found another girlfriend that you do like btw - how many times over the 21 years here have I seen dramatic flounces out of the door. When I decide to leave - I shall say Au Revoir but not Adieu - I am still mostly entertained and instructed here in the Dark Arts.
I might add that nothing and no one will persuade me not to fly BA - least of all here. When they p me off sufficiently then I will take my custom elsewhere. When I want to bltch about some service failure, I do so to the airline rather than on here. Here, no one can do anything - the airline might. One thing that I have long learned here is that what we are told and what actually happened can be worlds apart. I know that I am a cynical old cow but I have not been married to a policeman for the last 35 years without learning a trick or two. My first rule is - did this actually happen? I used to ask people to send me details flights, dates so that I could make discrete inquiries - only one person in 15 years ever did. One particular individual who I will not name came back with the most tortuous reasons why he could or would not. Most never replied at all to me or to the thread. Anyhow, I may have a new career opening if they publish and I will be able to keep myself in tights and make-up. Low maintenance I may be, Cheap I am not.
