For me this is the nub of the issue: It's a relatively new development for some pax (many are still unaware) that BoB is assembled up front, and this delays the Club service. FT addicts are more aware of it, but others aren't. I noticed it on a recent OTP - LHR flight, but as it was a long sector it didn't seem to matter as the CE service was then measured and paced. I can understand frustration on shorter CE sectors.

I've travelled recently a lot to and from Almeria from Gatwick on that clapped out ex-BMI brigade, often with 2 rows (or 3) of Club, often with no curtain, and often with one drinks round with the meal (2h30m flight). It was better last summer from Heathrow on 320s. usually 5 rows, curtain and v attentive staff.
