As an aside, looked into switching my OW stuff to QR and noticed that they still have Air Berlin as a valid FFP - made me chuckle a bit

And finally see this case where a gentleman found a gold bracelet in the lounge in 1978 while awaiting a flight at LHR. The court stated that he was lawfully present in the lounge due to flying first class or as a member of the BA Executive Club:
