Oddly in the BA lounge in mumbai last night I couldn't access flyertalk. Thought it was weak Internet but could get Bbc news and loads of high content websites. I joked that it looked blocked

Yes I think it is a BA Terraces lounge.

Yes it is a BA run lounge, quite a good one (as I've mentioned before, the only Slurry Machine I know of in the network). And yes I was able to access Flyertalk there, and did so quite recently, using Wifi and the code card provided.

Do people still use lounge computers?! How quaint.

Sort of OT, but sometimes the whitelists/blacklists are not set with any level of granularity or reason. For a while, at least, all .ie domains were inaccessible from the computers in the AF lounge at 2F in CDG.

Would you prefer that we did not access the internet at all whilst travelling?

I wouldn't touch a shared computer with a barge-pole and I'm by no means normally a tinfoil hat type. I also assumed almost everyone travels with at least one connected device these days.

Clearly not!

The majority probably don't and some of those who do won't know how to use it. My wife being one of them.

I was in there on Saturday morning for the AA flight and had no problems connecting to FT. Pretty certain it's not run by BA.
