Considering the poster is a well known fabricator of the truth, I would take the whole post on his "blog" with a good dose of salt.

Photos-ORD FL Lounge

I often question how people are able to eat so much, or are able to find a way to take pictures of all items listed on a menu...who can eat 3 main entrees? I have a pretty good appetite, but I couldn't eat that much food, even if I didn't eat for a few days prior. Kudos to them for however they do it, but I'm just not sure how they do it.

In regards to Charles, he gives alot of details and shows alot of photos in his reports, dare I say "quite creative". Though, when I see something like this in a report:

Types of passengers JFK-LHR: A family of WASPs: Mommy and daddy WASP (White Anglo-saxon Protestant) were about 60 and must have been very beautiful in their youth—they looked like one of those paintings of the rich benefactors that hang all around Harvard.

It seems a bit immature and takes away from the good intentions of the trip report.

Well thank you for your comments, J FYI, The pictures are from separate visits (on the BA Galleries visit) and I don't EAT every thing I take a picture of. Also no one told you to EAT all three entrees, but u can certainly TASTE 3 entrees.

Hey guy...don't take what I posted in the wrong context. There are others that post photos as well, which really adds to a posting (A picture is worth a thousand words...right?) No need to feel that you are being accused of anything other than posting photos, just as others (some extreme and some being somewhat ordinary).

Questionable is your statement-

I must say it is a really good report. I never had the guts to order the FA to organise ALL the meals for me to take photos of (including J Class). As I think it is a quite troublesome and really a waste of the food if you don't eat it.

This kind of contradicts what you mentioned in your previous post quoted at the top. Thank you for posting the photos, but I disagree on wasting food for the sake of photos.

That seems to be the general consensus on Airliners.Net too..

Well considering CX's past record on these publicised issues, they will probably reprimand the whole crew on that flight, and then give Charles an upgrade since their staff broke protocol.

Did anyone save the report? Seems it has been taken offline.:(

Just because I don't eat it, doesn't mean my friends travellign with me won't be eating it?;)
