Thanks, lavajava. I won't be posting much I think but that one caused the proverbial "bee in bonnet". As you say "what a prat". Part of me hopes he reads FT and is crawling under a rock now but he is probably in the minority who know no shame.

I know you say you won't be posting much, and that of course is your prerogative, but please do stay around - it can be fun here and hopefully you'll be moved to contribute again. Welcome ^

The flunkeys obviously don't know how to use 'manage my booking' and add any frequent flyer numbers into the pnr that the TA or third party who made the booking had forgot to enter.

If you book when not signed into BAEC then you do have to select your title, no? So someone else could have messed that up, as you say.

I saw Joan Collins and her husband in the CCR, about three years ago. Escorted in and out by SS.
BA Silver bag tags on their bags, though.

Probably still enough travel for LT gold though. With a sixty-year career, assuming that they gave her an Exec Club card out of courtesy as a prem, she could fail to make gold every single year and still get a LT card.
