I own up. T'was me some 20 years ago. Heathrow Terminal 1, old bmi lounge, travelling to CDG on a BD flight. I flashed my shiny Eurostar Frequent Traveller Gold card at the dragons but they made me do the walk of shame. This was at the time when bmi Diamond EuroClass tickets were fully interchangeable with Eurostar Premium First tickets on Paris/Brussels routes. I was behind the curtain obviously.
