Let's face it, I know what Pucci wants and I am going to give it to her.
This lady is pure class and knows a good thing when she sees it.

You have an advantage on me, Sir/Madam ... but then she's never seen this good thing.

I'm far too much of a gentleman to comment on that.

thanks for telling us what slim is but why would anyone corrupt a decent gin with a diet drink? they are aweful! and besides, the difference between plain tonic and diet is about 40 calories.

loving the multiculturalism!! how very amusing! frankly I find such labelling insulting and pejorative.

I agree the location is better for the North lounge, for starters it gets a lot more daylight. However the South always wins with me due to the Ice Cream fridge! (Although it has sadly been poorly stocked on my last two visits!)

So if one must have Slimline, one may find the fridges better stocked in the South Lounge (although they are not immune to running out of diet coke!).

If all else fails you can try something from the cocktail bar!

Personally I am shocked that there is such a furore about a modern imitation not even from Bombay when we should really be demanding Plymouth Gin, a true original among the juniper drinks. Is this BRITISH Airways or a mere modern imitation!

PUCCI drinks Bombay ... who are we to argue?



I stopped drinking gin a couple of years ago ... it is apparently addictive, unlike champagne.
