The only downside is having to be on first in order to get overhead space, particularly if the crew have taken it.
You can join me whenever you like. Rich, Ah handsome youngish personable men are always welcome! Now, here’s a Pucci secret. Irrespective of my reputation as a tried and tested hard faced old cow; I’m actually far worse. As Row 1 has no option but to stow all one’s goods and chattels (my hand bag goes into my Person Item), should I find crew baggage I sweetly coo if they mind if I move them down. They always move them. They often pop them on the Flight Deck behind the FO. Most BA crew are actually there to please their passengers and they are usually most helpful.
You’ve put me in mind of a TFTG I’m afraid I’ll tell you if you like.
