The BA Exec is nice, but was not impressed that after having had Gold for 20 years, one year I was a few flights short and they demote you to silver without any loyalty.

That's customer service for you these days. Loyalty means very little, it's all about getting new customers!

'BA' and 'loyalty' are rarely if ever in the same sentence or para!!

You mean the personalised emails I receive from BA are not really personal and not really signed by the chairman?  :o

Now take a deep breath and sit down, this is a lot to take in pvr.  It's not just you, the chairman is a busy man and would love to sign all you letters but time is tight.  :P

Well I couldn't come back on a shitty 777 so I've booked to come back on an earlier flight......an A380 :)

Finished work for a couple of hours and enjoying the view and sitting having a cocktail.....

Not looking forward to the English weather! It 16 degrees here and very pleasant!

Mogs you 're bringing back great memories. I stayed at the wavey hotel on the other side.

You look like you're at Mina-al-Salam, Dar-al-Masyaf or Madinat Jumeirah - all three are beautiful!

I'm seriously jealous!

Hi Sanj

We're working at the Madinat Jumeirah, unfortunately not staying there!

Sitting in the beach restaurant now at the Madinat about to eat.....warm in shorts with waves crashing 25m away and with a great view as you know!

On Friday this will be a distant memory and we're back to the UK :(

As well better enjoy it while I can (and it's all paid for which makes it better!)

Cold beer just arrived.....hmmmmm :)
