In CCR now, no LPGS and the queue for the first wing was long but moved fairly quickly.

Extra guests are not permitted in the CCR, where the LPGS is usually found.

I seemed to have missed the brief moment of LPGS yesterday.

The absence of French classics also continued.

Whilst we all survived, it is quite poor.

With a technical issue, we were nearly four hours on the ground before take off to YYZ.

Five bottles of LPGS were consumed in the wait (not all be me!) so again it was onto the Henriot champagne for the flight.

Yep, no LPGS or claret on offer today. Even the Montrachet that was around last week has been replaced by a decent, but not stellar, St Aubin. More positively, the staff are in excellent form and the Blue coat gin special is very quaffable. 28 Prems and CCRers through T5 today, which i think is more than double the usual daily figure, and it's certainly busier than usual in the CCR.

What is the collective noun for CCRers?

(I'd suggest "tipple" except I believe that would exclude one of its most famous residents....)

I can confirm that they did have some LPGS earlier today. But certainly seem to be rationing it and seem to be back on the Henriot again.

That's been previously established: it is an importance of GGL.
