Travel meet-up thread

Welcome to the British Airways Flyertalk Travel Meet-up Thread. Here are the simple rules:

1) Use this thread to mention you will be travelling through an airport such as LHR T5 on a given time and date. You can also mention non airport locations if you wish. A brief sentence or two will do, but please use this wiki format:5-MAY-2019 / 17:00-19:00 / LHR T5 Landside / FlyerTalk username / Maybe late arriving due to connections

2) Do NOT mention lounge guesting, hosting or requesting in the wiki or thread. Just say you'll be (e.g.) airside at T5. In a change to the rules for 2020, you may also mention the lounge you are planning on visiting, but again please do not post guest offers or requests.

3) Edit the wiki entry if you can, but if you cannot edit it one of the many volunteers here will happily do it for you, just post your information below in the above format, be sure to include date, time and location. You can edit wikis after 90 days and 90 posts.

4) Use Private Messages to fix arrangements and rendez-vous location. One PM to the person mentioned in the wiki only, please, no repeats and definitely no hassling. If you don't get a reply, then that's life, not everyone has the time to attend to FT matters immediately, so try a PM to someone else instead.

5) Every so often we may well delete all posts, so that just the wiki and header information will remain. So don't regard your posts as permanent.

6) Please check the local COVID-19 regulations on social gatherings before arranging any meet-ups

@navylad, Show again using the correct format!

It makes it easier for us to cut and paste for novices who are not able to post for themselves, as somebody has tried to do for you. As you are an old hand in these parts and have sufficient posts to edit the wiki, when you get a moment you might wish to make the corrections for yourself?

Done

Show again? Sorry, not sure what you are asking me to do.

No need for your to cut and paste anything thanks, sorry for putting the time and airport the wrong way round and any pedantry offence caused.

I had assumed by your username that you had service or merchant maritime connotation and "show again" would be understood. Therefore humour not pedantry - if you knew the joke for failure to show correctly first time!

sorry never heard it used in 18 years in the Royal Navy, not is it listed in Rick Jolly’s (RIP) Jackspeak; Say again however is used all the time, sorry to have not got your ‘joke’.

Something I am unclear about though is whether I should post in that format in the thread or whether the format is only necessary in the wiki?

I have assumed only needed in the wiki and that is why I used the correct format in the wiki and just normal chatspeak in the thread. Is that wrong? I wouldn't want to fall foul of the rules ;)

Others may have different views, but it really makes no difference at all how you post in this thread when posting for information.

However if you are requesting someone else to post your entries from this thread into the wiki (usually because you do not have sufficient privileges to do it yourself) then I would have thought it would be courteous to place it in the format requested in the advice and guidance posted at the top of the wiki. It then allows somebody to just cut and paste a line direct from the post into the wiki without having to reformat or rearrange the details. See, for example, the post No 5 above by CanaryWharf which made that request and was laid out as requested by the thread moderator. I then could just cut and paste each line from the post into the correct date location in the wiki.

OT
 

You are clearly a person of impeccable character and never had occasion to catch the eye of the jossman or Regulator! I still have show parades outstanding from the last century at one place ;)

After Rick's days a new administrative minor sanction system came in (mirroring the younger services) for minor failings. The BR's now say:
