I encountered a beautifully air-conditioned jet bridge at AGP recently when similarly waiting to board, it was cooler than the plane!
4000 posts in this thread and I’ve not seen one single report of any British person saying “group oh”. It sounds mental. And after maybe 50 flights from Heathrow since the start of group 0 (zero), I’ve not heard “group oh” myself. Anyone else actually heard this before? More generally, never heard a standalone 0 pronounced as oh.
