I've been telling everyone I know to steer the hell clear of BA from the end of March for at least a month. T5 opening was always going to be a disaster. The British do these things so well!!!

Let's all laugh at BA.

And let's all laugh at the BAA.

Couldn't organise a piss-up in a brewery.

I have been anti-BA for many years. Glad to hear they are struggling.

A pedant writes: except it's not an "authority" any more. It's no longer nationalised, so it's just called "BAA".

Just like BT is not "British Telecom" any more.
