Boggles the mind to think I have had posts deleted because they criticised BA in a genuine and relevant way.

Any yet this thread is here.
Seriously. What the hell is this?

Perhaps because you were using profanity in them too?

Flyertalk is packed with threads I have no interest in. I find not reading them to work extremely well for me personally.

Profanity?... Too?
You don't know what a thread is about until you have read it... Must be quite a skill being able to know what something says without reading it.

Probably best to leave it. It's one of those frivolous threads, attracting flippant replies. Taking it too seriously puts you out of kilter.

My apologies. I imagined that disclosing in the title that the thread was about turmeric would imply that it did not contain any brilliant solutions for massive improvement of the passenger experience. I'll try to be more specific in future.

Perhaps some people thought that there was a typo or autocorrect in your title and you meant turban ban. Perhaps they were after some solicitous and controversial comments.

Personally I found your title wholly appropriate for the subject matter and did not provide the ambiguity of many ‘Help’ type threads that tell you nothing about the subject matter. Just remember, some people just like to moan regardless.

Or just sit at the back thus ensuring you only have to deal with the much easier tomato stains from the pasta

The key to this is the way you unwrap the foil.
Many years ago of flying coach on BA has taught me well

I would like to vote out couscous also, SK were very fond of serving that some years ago, one little bump and suddenly what you had on your fork had been fairly shared with your seat mates.

Such as the ones Lufthansa gives out instead of hot towels

Or BA used to include along with salt and pepper in CE. I actually miss those after they got enhanced away and am disappointed to see they did not return with the new catering.

Now I often need to get up and wash my hands after eating. But I do like the White Company soap smell so not all bad.

The perils of having that little bit of OCD that makes me hate having even slightly greasy fingers…

Maybe they could have a seasonal ban instead of an outright one...

Surely you're wearing your First pjs in economy so not an issue if any spillage (curry or red wine)?
