Given the real meanings of G-ZZZ looking a bit like 777, G-VII being Roman for 7, and G-YMM indicating the year 2000, how did G-STB come about? Sexy Twin-engined bird? Should-be Trent Boxes?

HEAR! HEAR! It really should be reported to the Trading Standards Institute. I'm a huge fan of BA, but would rather drink water contaminated at Chernobyl straight out of the bucket than subject my internal organs to the sewage water BA deem to call 'coffee'.
