Plastic Cutlery
DO all EK flights in Biz serve the meal with plastic utensils? I have travelled on the Glasgow flight a couple of times now and always been presented with plastic knife, fork & spoon surely this can change and has done so on other airlines.

Flights to & from the UK use plastic utensils (I believe any complaints re this need to be dirceted to David Blunkett, btw).
Have used several EK flights beyond DXB to SE Asia and these all use metal utensils, at least in C.
The stupid flaw in this is that in the EK C lounge at DXB (which is post-security) has loads of metal knives & forks on the go, so any prospective terrorist can arm himself with a butter knife & teaspoon in the EK lounge, board a flight to the UK then cause whatever havoc is possible

Never saw plastic utensils.
Must be only on UK routes (and US?).

On the few trips that I have taken on EK to Dubai (out of Beirut), metal utensils were used in C.
On all my BA trips out of Beirut to LHR, plastic utensils are used in C. On my trip to YVR on BA this past September, plastic was also used in C.
