On a BA flight from BOS the captain announced one morning that he was pleased to announce that we had flown so very fast and arrived so very early, that he needed to check what the record was for Boston - Heathrow. Then he came back on as we were taxiing and said we were so early in fact that the Baggage Handlers hadn't arrived yet to start work, and that ATC were debating which stand we would be going to. "So we will be conducting a short tour of London Heathrow to pass the time, this is a free tour compliments of BA."

I wouldn't take it personally if people want to vent their spleen at BA's actions or inactions, for example, I loved the posts sending up the food but it's not your fault that BA has a policy of having to heat meals to nuclear temperature.

Anyway (not BA): Captain stood at the flight desk door, speaking to passengers via the PA - 'Welcome to this flight back to London Gatwick...those of you who are nervous passengers, for whom this might be your first flight, I fully understand, it's mine too...'

BA F to SIN, before we had even departed (2 hour delay due to bags / balancing etc etc)
Cabin Crew - "we have run out of rose champagne, you are more than welcome to the (rose) sparkling wine from CW"
Did make me LOL, until I released they were serious.

I often used to see him on Friday evenings on LHR-MME when he was MP for Hartlepool and all I can say is that on those occasions he didn't sit in 1A or even row 1 because I was always in 1A! Indeed he wasn't either a Diamond Club G (or *G) because he was always downstairs in the lounge so a 'Diamond Club doors' call was never made for his benefit.

Apparently. It was either on this forum, but might have been a BA cabin crew board, where a 'set to' was recounted. It was said Mandy had plonked himself down in 1A and refused to move when the rightful 'owner' turned up (allegedly)
