Three cheers for the GLA lounge.....
Amidst all the negative lounge talk that's been going on I really feel the urge to praise one BA lounge....the GLA lounge.
Not only is it staffed by wonderful people the food offerings aren't bad either. A collection of photos below will show you better than me rabbiting on. Still got another hour to enjoy it.









Cheers....some 18 year old Glenlivet.

Have to say I agree. The lounge was lovely when I was there. Quite quiet being a Saturday afternoon, but food was adequate, the Glinlivet was excellent, and the staff were neally nice.

Thanks for posting Hiddy, 5 weeks today I will be in there - looking forward to it. A massive improvement from the old one by the looks of it

I managed to have breakfast and lunch the other day as I was on the 1225 to LGW. Can't wait to return next month

Is this the first time that Hiddy has "revealed" himself?

No, if you go and have a look in his TR's he usually makes an 'appearance'

Change of plan I'm afraid. My fussy wife was put off by the French menu so we're going Italian instead....Zafferano I believe the place is called.

Well I reckon HIDDY and Kevin McCloud (of Grand Designs fame) were separated at birth.
