I (possibly) spy Alex Cruz

Or at least a look a like in the F lounge at LGW.

No hi-viz though he has sampled some of the catering - he appeared to like the olives.

Surely he'd be in the CCR and not the Flounge if it were the real Alex Cruz?

We've had a painter and decorator in for the last three months at our countryside place who's the spit for Alex. He's also a good sport....just like this forum I'm always taking the p*** out of him.

Which Alex Cruz? The musician, the Canadian actor, the Chief Executive of British Airways or some other Alex Cruz? It's not that uncommon a name you know.

I bet this guy gets tired of saying, 'no, my name is Steven, not Ben.'

And then I woke up.....

Yes we thought around £250 for the goody bag. An awful lot of gin! Found Alex interesting to chat to. Very open to our questions.

At least you guys know which AC I’m talking about what with this being the BA board and that. Lol

anyway if it was Alex there were no pitchforks or flaming torches being held by passengers and no retinue and no fawning lounge staff. He was sat on his own doing stuff on his laptop eating some olives.

If i had known he’d been giving away gin and malteasers ...
