) so to me that's a nice move... apart from the BoB price hike of 10.83%.I believe that tea is still Twininings (long standing in GC and GF, in the CCR it used to be different - and much nicer, notably the lavender tea - loose teas but changed to Twinnings months ago. Not 100% sure though.
PS: oops, cws beat me to it!

Disappointing that the kids activity packs are being charged for. They used to give out free packs to kids, It's just getting more and more like Ryan air... next they will be selling scratch cards? When will they come to their senses and give us a free drink + snack, and give the brand a bit of a premium feel again?

And that means it is NOT Schweppes Slimline tonic (sugar-free and calorie-free) but 'Light' which is roughly half the sugar and calories, but just as frustrating to a diet-controlled diabetic as was Fever Tree Light.
Pickerings Gin from Edinburgh is a most likeable gin, incidentally.

Teapigs is a brand owned by Tata, from people that used to work at Tetley's and not organic. Do you think BA could have negotiated a better price than that?

Have not tried it yet as flew CE but there seems to be a change to the tapas box as advertised - now references a dip, no cheese or cured ham. Will be a real disappointment next time we go ET if so.

Same price easyJet charges for the Clipper Organic Teas, which is owned by Royal Wessanen, a multi-nat with a focus on organic products.

I noticed that too. It’s a shame as it’s the one thing I enjoyed from the old ET menu. It was always clearly marked as ‘Not an M&S product’ and was the same as the one available on other airlines. I wonder if this new one is an M&S version.

The new menu does have a Porridge option - it's a "Maple syrup flavoured" one at (I think) £1.30. I would expect from the photo that's a reconstituted using hot water one with a long shelf life.
