Adam1222,

I'm puzzled by your post as my earlier post, to which you refer, does not, in fact, state that I spoke in any particular way. May I respectfully request that you read it carefully: it states that the staff member "seemed.." and that "it is reasonable to expect..".

With best wishes,

Southsquare

The tone rang a bell; and, yes, the OP has form. This earlier thread generated some lively exchanges. At the time I assumed if it was an elaborate wind-up.

Dear Southsquare:
It appears, based on my discerning eye and reading comprehension skills, that the answer is affirmative.
Kind regards,

I wish the OP good fortune in the arena of subject access requests: it gets difficult where CCTV is involved. I know SARs can move agonisingly slowly, particularly where video recordings are the prime focus, but I'm hoping the OP will get back to us on the result of this request.

If the SAR proves successful, it would be interesting to know how useful the footage has been in establishing the nature and content of the exchange between the OP and the lounge agent(s).

Reading this thread makes me very thankful indeed that I don't work in customer service.

Thankfully, even most of us lawyers don't invoke regulations and laws in this manner when dealing with customer service. Even in my professional life, if someone spoke to me this sort of officious way it would be abnormal.

Generally I find if a member of staff suggests to a patron to make a formal complaint to management about an ongoing issue it’s because they’ve tried to have these issues sorted several times already by their management and they’ve done nothing about it.

if customers complain then management are more likely to listen.

I’ve a choice on Sunday. I’m staying in London - I can fly back to Belfast from BHX or SOU, BHX would save us £100 (Train and flights cheaper).

Not much difference in the timings, but if BHX is THAT bad right now i’d rather travel from one of my favourite airports in SOU.

Any recent reports? I’d probably be flying fairly late Sunday evening.
