'I am not a robot' [Recaptcha validation questions when using the BA website]
I am used to ticking to say that I am not a robot but today I also had a selection of photos and had to tick the ones with cookies. Pretty sure one of them had scones. Looking forward to the next question

Funny, you are the second person today to report using capcha features when loging in to BAEC (I assume this is the site that you are referring to? ) I don't recall ever using the pictures feature for BA, but have used capcha before when logging in numerous times in short succession. (I am trying to find a thread where I mentioned this previously, although well over a year ago.)
Perhas BA have increased their security recently (another poster reports their aco.... being hacked). Maybe this hack impacted on more than one member? Although this is just pure speculation.

Google launched it about 18 months ago and has been extending and rolling it out.
