Flounge Gossip
After completing the rather comprehensive survey about my wishes for the future of the First Lounge, I got the feeling that there might be some changes in the works. I'm in the Flounge right now, and there is a group of 7 people walking around with a stack of blueprints and floor plans. I lacked the gumption to eavesdrop, but I get the idea there may be something rather major in the works?

Looks like the posse also went Galleries South and were standing in a group around the food islands - I was going to eavesdrop, but got distracted by some fresh bacon rolls!

But moving back on topic, what might be proposed changes? I did notice the lounge survey got sent to me three times, once relating to a trip back in August. Could T5 really be ready for a major overhaul?

One of my best friends is still proud to have been part of the original lounge committee that voted on placing the horses with lampshades in the lounges. He's long gone from BA now, though.
I'd personally like them to add in a few things that we could expect from lounges in other places, e.g. games room, a proper area for watching sports (sealed off from rest of lounge so not to cause problems with noise) and a major overhaul of the bathrooms.
