Me too. I'm thoroughly confused here. In fact, I nearly always book most of my flights whilst I'm away, primarily as I have more spare time to plan.
As long as you're logged in on BA.com and set your area to 'United Kingdom - English', which anyone would or should do (you wouldn't leave it set to Italy when browsing in Rome....), it's just like booking from home!
