The difference gives one a chance to practice the French nasal sounds.
The difference also gives one a chance to make a joke to which someone replies seriously.

Neither the OH or I (both GGL/CCR) have been invited to either event.

The last invite I received was in 2014. I'm only 15 mins from Heathrow.

Anecdotal evidence is correct in my case

I would imagine by trying to identify those who will puff smoke up WW's backside. If there is any real purpose to these events apart from a talking shop I'd be amazed.

Do they provide complimentary snacks and drinks or do WW and AC wander around selling M&S produce to everyone?

Me too - on both counts. There used to be loads of events but I think the F&M bash in 2014 is the last one I've been invited to. Either BA are cutting back or there are lots more GGLs than there used to be!

Same here. I suspect a vanilla 97 GGL doesn't cut it any longer...

Apparently the Cruzifier is going to be there. I'm somewhat curious what he has to say.
