Um, three of them are very much present! Two of them make regular appearances in CCR threads.

Well I guess some people will say the new terrace cabanas are relaxing.

Forgot to add that at least he took his shoes off. Suspect he may have stolen a Concorde model and hidden it though.
Kent and ashington80 like this.

NYLON Boy - Not that it makes any difference to your comments on the quality of food & service in the LHR CCR (on which we shall have to agree to differ), but for a year or more Peninsular staff no-longer serve in the CX lounges at HKG. CX lounges at HKG are now staffed through Plaza Premium. Doc Copper

Wonderful photo

Seems like he didn’t see the BA memo. Or, should I say, their website :

The Concorde room is the epitome of elegance and available at Heathrow Terminal 5 and JFK”

(wonder just how many what’s the problem, he’s not doing any harm-style comments will follow)

Indeed. The scope for dissecting that photo is immense (cushion! socks! trackies! Nikes! acting shoes size!) but it may be tricky to stay on topic (unless it's split out into another thread I guess).

Quite. Not sure where to start, so I don't think I will...

I have to say, that photo aside, I’ve had rather a good time in the CCR and at LHR today so far today. First time though the F wing (no queues at all), a couple of glasses of LPGS on a front row lounger, a walk through the the tunnel to T5B and back to stretch my legs, managed to bag an inside Cabana for an hour (already wait-listed) for a shower and snooze, meal on a high table with another LPGS. Still time for a couple of BA175s before my flight in F to IAD. Can’t say I would have noticed the new furniture much at all (it neither wows nor jars) except that it is less tatty than before. Overall pretty positive.

Yup, utterly horrid behaviour.

Posting public pictures of people on the internet who've done nothing wrong, and commited no crime, without their permission, in order to shame them and have a good chuckle about how superior you all are, now that is the height of elegant, classy behaviour. If you're a 14 year old on snapchat. How on earth of people think this is OK? Far worse than anything the guy in the photo is doing.

What clique, treating a public area as if it is your own home isn’t appropriate?
