Fawned over in FIRST

What a lovely crew today over to LAX
Seems to be an empty flight but full in First.

Loads of crew

Seem to be 3 serving first and they are not sticking to sides

All very friendly and chatty and everything possible

(Despite toddler and baby at large)

Do you like my soup?

Watched that film in my QSuite on the way back from DOH to ARN recently, very clever and witty.

Yes; I was playing on words!

They are good and attentive crew

So you feel that the service is overboard and too much? Or you're impressed with it, and quite content? I am really not sure whether this is a serious post about good service or a tongue-in-cheek one.

As a keen amateur chef and BA apologist I'm afraid to say I think they overdid the amount of croutons considering the quantity of soup you got. I would be having a wee word in the ear of the CSD about it.

I was waiting until post 10 before taking this away from whatever the point of the thread was, but am I the only one slightly disturbed by the non symmetrical arrangement of the croutons?

Alec Cruz should hang his head in shame at this shocking display and should resign at once if not sooner.

Was the soup actually hot, or just tepid?

As ro the “fawning”, feel free to bring it on. I like a good fawning.

That aside, was it actually described as ‘Soup’ on the menu .... ??

Or was it ‘Jumbo croutons with a vegetable dip’ ?
