Hi,

I agree!^ I had a glass of that champagne in T3 and it had such an aftertaste I could not finish it

In T5 GF before heading back up to EDI I had another small taste. It had not improved and I mentioned it to a couple of other pax who were about to try it. They tried it and agreed with me.

Regards

TBS

BA don't, what actually meant was gourmand

The noun gourmand refers to someone who is extremely (and often excessively) fond of eating and drinking.

A gourmet is a connoisseur: someone with refined tastes in food and drink.

It's the fact that it had plenty of texture that was the problem for me. Big sinewy chunks of lord knows what.

I had an F burger last Tuesday in the Flounge. This must be a very recent change.

I believe the change only happened in the last few days.

This is different from the GLA lounge in that Baxter Storey contractually take over the lounge management with effect from the 28th February.
Land of Miles. You seem to have a very detailed knowledge of the contractual terms. Pray tell where does this in depth knowledge come from. Were you involved in the process? Or perhaps have a connection with this new contractor?

No it is semi public knowledge that the current contractor Compass has their contract terminated to be replaced with Baxter Storey at the end of this month. I think there are threads here on this very subject.

My knowledge has been supplemented my recent interactions with CCR staff.

Ah the CCR. Only passed through it's hallowed portal once. Maybe again one day and it sounds like it will be all change very soon. Here's hoping I get the chance to see the changes.
That said I am sure we will see the changes in all lounges very soon Land of Miles thanks for the info.

My understanding is that the burgers are supplied by 2 Sisters Food Group, which is a privately owned company. They are currently awaiting test results, which probably explains the hasty removal of the burgers.
