Porridge in First.
I hate BA breakfast, and have a rather delicate digestion... Would it be reasonable to take my own porridge pot which just needs hot water and then ask a member of the crew to add hot water for me?

Porridge is also available in CCR. Your flight leaves at 13:30 (it's going to Narita, just in case there is someone here who hasn't memorised the entire schedule), and normally breakfast gets cleared down around 11:45, but so long as you have a bit of time to spare when ordering, I'm sure a fresh batch will be made for you. Usual toppings available.

I hate BA breakfast on the plane. I should have been more specific. I really can't do a cooked breakfast of any sort (except eggs, scrambled/boiled).
Croissants etc. are OK, but I've never had one on a plane that I've actually enjoyed.
It's a simple solution to a minor problem. If I can get hot water. I sure don't mind carrying around the little porridge pot; but I'd hate to be an annoyance to the crew.

Believe it or not we are there to give customers the best service that we can, the majority of crew will do all they can to keep a customer happy. (Within reason)
