My Dear. The whole thread is sad. I mean sad in the emotional sense. I cannot do otherwise than agree with you and others that I find the whole topic highly distasteful. Why it had to be dredged up after all these years depresses me.

If this makes me Holier-than-Thou, it will be a first. I have watched these Lounge Crawls in action. Most were perfectly well behaved. The only reason that I knew that they were on such an endeavour was that that I overheard them. They came and they left to meet someone else in QF and bothered no one. How much longer they will be tolerated is questionable.

I think that we can all justify anything we like because it suits us. All I will say is this. Would you go around to a house and start pinching food and drink? Of course not. It’s an abuse of hospitality.

Finally, what has this really got to do with BA? Are we to infer that this sort of behaviour takes place only in their Lounges, or are we actually more brazen about it on here? Do people conduct themselves in such a manner at Air France, Iberia, or Lufthansa? I suppose that it depends upon whether it is all true and not exaggerated to sound funny or clever. We will never really know, will we.

 

Absolutely serious! It was a great fun day. T3 is the best for a lounge crawl.

 

LHR or MAN?

 

🤣

 

Does this always happen or is it a new feature that draws attention to passengers who have "liberated" packets of crisps from the lounge?🤔
i didn't dare open it!

 

If you were in Y you’d need a ticket for that!

 

A lawer friend commented: "Theft is theft."

 

My rule of thumb is whatever fits in my mouth when I leave the lounge is acceptable.

 

Yes, I was so amused by that comment from someone earlier in the thread I have made it my signature line ever since

 

I presumptuously assumed that I was the source of this tautological rubric, but a quick search reveals that the phrase has a long history on FT. As opposed to the oxymoronic “acceptable amount to steal….. .”

 

You have been busy searching Steve in Olympia! Yes, you were indeed the inspiration for my FT signature

 

My (late) lawyer friend - who mentioned this to me in the late 1990's will be smiling in his grave....

 

Yes, this is just about as meaningful and enlightening as: "Brexit means brexit".

 

I have deleted 12 posts discussing the effects of the changes in air pressure on food packaging. Interesting as it may seem, it's wildly off topic.

I agree.....and is equally amusing.
