Bin space is shared for the whole cabin (including F on other aircraft) and doesn't 'belong' to the window seats so no begging required. Your entitled to use them.
Any issues (very unlikely) just flag it up to cabin crew.

I have two bookings next Spring, one of which i have been allocated seats, but cannot change them, the second booking i cannot and BA dont seem to be able to allocate for 48 hours, so i wait and see, but why is this?
Equally frustrating is their promise to call me on my mobile, but they called my landine and would only speak to me, so my wife told me.
How unprofessional from a leading company.

77H windows in business
I have 7A booked on a couple of upcoming flights. One from London to Cape Town and one a month later on a separate trip from Las Vegas to London. I am a fan of window seats, but I see that row 7 in the back of the mini cabin only has one window. However, from doing some research, it looks like that 7A window is positioned so that you have a decent view. I havent been on this aircraft before, so Im curious of the value of the mini cabin over a single window disadvantage. Lots of other available seats in the back of the business cabin, nothing else available in the mini cabin to change to.

Its pretty terrible and I wouldnt recommend - photos are screenshots from a video hope they help. Also, I suspect the LAS is a place holder and will change__

Thank you that is helpful. Are you saying the 77H on the Vegas route is not likely?
Ive noticed that the 777 is on a few of my flights where I see the F cabin seats, but F is not sold on the flight (LHR-SAN-LHR for example). How does that work for seating? Is it the FLUB I see referenced above? How are those seats allocated? Are they ever offered to high status passengers? I am OW Emerald. Just curious of how BA operationalizes there aircraft.

Who gets FLUB-bed is upto BA alone.
Sometimes the seats are available on online check in but beware that the seat assignments doesnt always stick and you will be put into any available CW seats. So beware choosing the First Class cabin seats if first is not sold.
