Has BA gotten more stingy on the warm nuts?

Hasn't been bird seed for ages, certainly as far as my domestics have been concerned. [Well certainly not the real bird seed disaster of yuck that prompted the term.]
The Dormens stuff is quite good. Although I prefer the mediteranean crisps they do to the savory nibbles.

Havn't seen the rocky biscuits in ages. But I don't do many domestics, so a small sample size.
I usually get a lager and some of the sort of 'air puffed' crisps by Dormans which are jolly nice. They seem to give the initial snack choice based upon drink order, so go for a grolsch and you certainly get the crisps type snack these days.
I havn't seen anyone get the rocky biscuits in ages, but as I said, my sample size for domestics is tiny. I think they may have increased the size of the main snack, and got rid of them.

You are lucky to have been spared the bird seed. They really were bird seed, no joke!

They're nice, aren't they? I recall (err... it's been a while, I hope I am not going senile) Dormens things have the small round version of them too.

Nuts go in the mouth - or has no one told you this. till you may go and find your nuts, warm them, and get me a nice big G&T at the same time - no stinting on the ice mind - and please get you skates on or that'll end up as a thread on FlyerTalk. I asked for my G&T at 11.10 and had to wait until 13.30!!!!!
This was a Mixed Fleet route - actually is it me or do the majority of our more sensational threads always seem to end at their door nowadays?

You just can't please everyone...
First, people complain about the cabin temperature being too hot and now people are complaining that it is too cold for their nuts! Honestly
What next? Cabin crew coming around with the iPad asking "I notice you are a GCH/SCH...Would you mind me noting whether sir/madam has a preference for;
A) Pre warmed or Chilled Nuts?
B) Does sir/Madam enjoy a mouthful of nuts or a just a good handful?

I do feel however that there are more than one way to read your post. Do nuts get sticky when they get hot - is this a BA speciality. I like mine oven hot with a sprinkling of cocktail salt.
