The third photo in post #6 of this thread confirms your understanding, the stand is 2 circles connected by a 'C' shaped bar.

While we're on the subject of gender inequalities with the washbags, interesting to see the gender differences here too - the protective man, sat up with his adult drink and his important and serious notebook and pen, using his boy-toy headphones, with his black washbag ignored; and the woman blissfully asleep after her tea, with her feminine washbag rummaged, and its moisturisers and girly things scattered asunder.

It's the out of focus bit to the left of the stem of the champagne flute.

As the meal service normally takes at least an hour or so and with the ability to eat when you want, it shouldn’t really be a huge issue in F.
Without trying to bash BA, what do other carriers offer on this front?
I’ve only been on LX and LH in F other than BA and can’t rememebr there being any dedicated ‘snacks’ as such but didn’t go looking either.
Changes look pretty positive to me. Look forward to seeing the first reports.

Warning - Grumpy switch on.
This is all very nice to hear about but the thing that makes me want to book a BA F seat rather than J is not so much the hard product but the soft product. I would really like to hear more about investment into training and development of the crew (and the CSD) to ensure that BA can deliver a high quality (and CONSISTENT) level of service in F.
Grumpy switch off.

I am picturing a stand that looks like this, (minus the stubby feet and double C arm), and sits on the table.

The stand, assuming it is as I imagine it to be, is entirely free-standing, and does not take a lot of space for 8-14 of them to be stacked away together.
I've seen a similar item 'for real' somewhere (I suspect at a hotel lounge).

A little off-topic, but at the Israel Breakfast last year, Alex Cruz said that T3 would be getting a Gold Wing. Is this any closer to happening?

There wasn’t a mention of who is the bedding supplier, which I find interesting, is it just more of current supplier but newer products? I wonder whether the White Company roll out in CW didn’t go down well with Waterside and therefore wasn’t considered for F.
