I'm not sure why, since as far as I can tell it didn't prevent you getting into CCR or getting a seat? So how did it affect you?
If you were troubled by speakers, muddy feet on seats etc you could have raised it with staff - did you? Presumably not.

Nothing wrong, in my view, with blagging your way around Heathrow (or through life generally) so long as you do it in the right spirit and are able to take the rough with the smooth. Everything wrong, however, with playing music on speakers in the lounge, and that should always be stopped (quite regardless of how the offenders gained entry)

Of course if they misbehaved they should be kicked out, but I suspect the OP was also a bit oversensitive and over-observant of their behaviour as he knew they had blagged their way in.

And of course like everybody said, their bad behavior once in the lounge is, well, bad. But it would be equally bad had they been there on paid F tickets.

I was turned down, briefly to the CCR before the attendant realised I was in F.
I would be peed off too if not for the fact I was blagged into a private members club once!

Hehe, yeah my first reaction was "OP clearly lacks standing." Them getting the benefit doesn't take anything away from anybody but BA, who's buying the booze and food.
