Does the BA website know how tatty the GF lounge is?

I only ask because it's currently telling me that for my flight (Exec Silver) in WTP I can enjoy the follong in the lounge...

Galleries First Lounge is located within the 'South Lounges' complex, follow the sign for 'South Lounge' after going through Security South. A Galleries Club Lounge is also available in T5B, please follow signs to T5B Gates.
Is GF now the level of quality offered to us lowly Silver and WTP flyers? I was Gold last year but that dropped back after the pandemic gift and I've managed to maintain Silver for next year but I guess this is just another of those funky glitches on the website right now. I guess I'll just assume the flight is leaving from T5B and head there instead.

Usual IT gremlins at work. The below showed up on a booking I had in June (WT+, Silver member) suggesting I could access CCR. Despite never being eligible to enter either through status or cabin.

I think there was even a report of someone successfully blagging access to the CCR due to this bug earlier this year?

Oooh I wish it showed me that - I've not been lucky enough to visit the CCR.

Unless one of you 5,000 point GGL or someone in First on the 2nd Feb wants to guest me in...

Unless AI has made really big strides, I am not sure that any website knows anything🤔😎

The BA one doubly so.

Currently it provides me with a blank screen having just insist that I add a OTP or similar authentication to my account and provided my with a recovery code. Now it can't even render at all, page is coming back with a totally empty body but fully valid headers and a 200 response code. Ho hum.

In contrast, BAEC recently sent me an e-mail "know your benefits with oneworld" wrongly identifying my status as Silver rather than Gold. Yes, I know my benefits, but you are quoting the wrong ones...

The App recently informed me there was no fast track or Lounge provision at LCA on my recent return flight from TLV, Check in made it clear without prompting that this was indeed available......
