Incompetence Again!
Well in the red FLASH advert it says "fares to Canada" suggesting other Canadian destination will work; but when you click that link it goes to the destination guides, not the booking page 
Toronto is an interesting city, handy for Niagara Falls and has some great museums; if you do go, I recommend www.pantageshotel.com

Maybe they finally heard my pleas for some offers there, admittedly for redemption mainly as there is 100% availabilty in those buckets, after all they fly two jumbos a day there - sadly when they finally do offer a red hot sale, it don't work.

You can get some good prices on Expedia, although I haven't seen the GBP 199 (is that inc. tax?) quoted. Got as low as GBP 220 though.
In any case, a typical BA website balls up, clicking on the sale link takes you to some completely irrelevant page, you can't book the flights, etc. etc.

I do like the location in terms of convenience. The Westin's better in the summer though, IMHO, and can often be got for the same price as (or less than) the Sheraton.

YVR is also pricing out more cheaply than it did when I was looking last night (but not as good as Toronto, at £133/leg + tax), so it looks like it would be included, but is also getting the error message about not being able to book

Not sure what you mean? What I meant was, according to my timetable, they operate one 747-400 ("Jumbo") and one 777-200 every day LHR-YYZ, with an extra 777-200 3 days a week (so from an award point of view, I guess looking for flights on Mon/Thu/Sat would be best).Phil
