Yes, indeed. I'm referring to a good friend of mine and his two parents all on the same household account. I have never met the parents and don't know all the details, but I know they are not short of a bob or two. The father owns his own company which seems to span three continents and presumably puts a certain amount of business BA's way, which is I think how he got to be a Premier. The wife and son have Golds on account of their own travel, although given the wife's current taste for private jets, she could well be about to lose her gold.
Anyway, the point of all this was that presumably this is the kind of couple that BA are saving 1A and 1K for, if they want it. Is suppose even they get bumped backwards, so to speak, if a CEO of one of the world's biggest companies comes on board with his rent-boy and they famously have a taste for "1A and 1B".
