I think you missed a wink, or at least I hope you did. Wouldn't be nice to wish someone eradicated, retired, moved on to other things or re-educated perhaps.

yes it was domestic, and the SPML is already default in my profile. I was told by BA when i complained that it is not possible to order SPML in CE (whether or not domestic) from LCY. I have no issues from any other airport.

Blimey that is awful, complain and maybe get some avios!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, BA awarded you 10,000 Avios as an apology for delivering to you exactly the food they intended to deliver! Maybe they've realised how bad this mid-band catering actually is - I'm now optimistic about improvements this year!

I'd rather have a crap meal and 10,000 Avios. I hope they make that a standard

So i’m wondering is this usual for a 2 hour flight? If so it seems Bonkers

Isn't that an oxymoron? Also pretty sure it takes more than 2 hours without food to cause "starvation"
