Right. Y'all remember the pre 97' days and shortly after? While admittedly this was a long time ago, but flying CX as a Brit back then most assuredly resulted in better service and treatment. And, if I weren't hampered by my American English, I'd have faked the English accent when I had flown CX during that era.
PS - Speaking of English accents, is the voice on the MTR real? That's like the most elegant English I've ever heard, even more English than in England!
