Some minor layout changes in T5 GF

In T5 GF now. There is a new pastries bar at the start of the dining corridor where magazine rack used to be. The magazine rack has been moved to where the table of magazines used to be.

Which begs the question, where is the table of magazines now?

Incidentally, that jar of Marmite is massive.

The marmite jar contains multiple pre-packed marmite servings. Just for the sake of calming the nerves of those who are of a non-marmite disposition.

Very handing for trips to foreign climes where marmite is viewed with suspicion, though those packs do tend to split eventually, which I learned the hard way.

I believe the adjacent fire extinguisher also contains multiple pre-packed fire extinguisher servings. Useful for trips to India.

Also a fan of the new (to me at least!) pies and Indian snacks beside the coffee machines leading down to the champagne bar and business area in GF

The Indian Snacks taste horrible 😟. They are westernised! Not the genuine thing.

Since you ask,Marmite is quite an effective aphrodisiac. That’s what it does to me. I confess to folchi g this useful little 10gm pots. In countries like my beloved France where it is reviled, and it is harder and far costlier to obtain, it lets a Marmite baby like me enjoy her breakfast.

Now that is quite off topic, whe. The topic is the moving of furniture on the Flub. Actually after my last visit I believe that a lot of the staff work as diligently as the furniture. I have never seen such a complacent lot of people ever.

Sorry, but that's the fire extinguisher. The Marmite jar is to the left.

Who thought it a good idea to have open food at knee height where peoples coats etc will brush over the goods?

I await the first 'a woman rested her handbag / man his briefcase on the pain au chcolat' thread

For the record [maybe this should be moved to the Flounge catering thread though] here is the afternoon version, with the scones and sandwiches



And the pies and Indian snacks by the champagne bar coffee machines.

In the mornings, there are frittata triangles instead of the pies.

It looks nice.
Is it there to stay or is it just a temporary thing?
