Oh! would now be a bad time to mention had you paid for and flown in World Traveller, BA would have supplied you with a pen in the amenity kit

Rather than wasting your time doing this sort of thing which is bound to be sat upon by the moderators, why don't you come back and post after your return flight? I for one will be interested to read your conclusions. I won't even ask that you board with an open mind as someone who has suffered a bad experience on an outbound flight might be justified in having low expectations of the inbound... I'd be interested to know if BA manage to win you back.
If they don't then there are plenty of other airlines out there, as you know

However, there aren't that many airlines on the Uk - Kingston route, I make it 2 !

I thought the pen was only available in World Traveller Plus?

tezzer - I concur with many above. Your OP was posted in a way that seemed to ruffle a few feathers but your subsequent posts have highlighted that you are quite a humorous chap 
Now, we can all learn lessons from this - not to create longstanding opinions based on (brief) first impressions
For this ray of light, please do stay here for a while - you'll see that the BA board can indeed be a wealth of similar humour, even if sometimes the people don't seem to know it themselves.
Enjoy the return flight and have a good holiday.

No, they were held back till we were off, a nice touch, and common practice with the other airlines I fly with.

The respected Jersey based flyertalk poster T8191 has also recently (Jan 12) travelled to Jamaica and back on BA and posted a trip report.......
He makes similar observations about the catering / flight and is worth a read....
tezzer....... I fly from Gatwick frequently and guess I know what to expect, (hard product reliable, too...... but service is usually very good. I would like to think that I would ask another member of cabin crew if one was unhelpful......
I also enjoy flying EK from LGW (prefer Oman air, but that means a schlep for me to LHR) but find the differing hard product on EK annoying..... particularly if I have booked a flight that has new product, then find an aircraft sub to say an A330.....
