If anyone has a B&H result from today I'd be grateful.

TIA

Remember the T gift set offer is due to end tomorrow, so we are on borrowed time if still buying gift sets ...

They are also likely to start dropping in price in A imminently so that they can switch to gardening or whatever on the seasonal aisle!

Yes, it was Gatwick south. Just do two separate bookings if you have individual cards. Referral was quick. Had no problem at Gatwick north a couple of weeks ago but that was for the Aspire lounge which is good. Haven't used No 1 before, have you? Write ups don't seem to be brilliant. For what it's worth, if you put the Clubroom in on the pull down menu, you can use your PP there and it still only costs the same. It's waiter service in there and much 'posher' (right up your street ) but my flight is early so probably wouldn't appreciate it. Don't understand why there are more lounges at the north terminal when that is quieter than the south terminal.

We’ve only used the No 1 in the north terminal. It was ok but always very busy. In south we’ve only used the relatively new BA lounge, which was very good, although not quite on a par with T5, but again very busy. Why does everywhere I want to go seem to depart from Gatwick when Heathrow would be so much easier.
I think north is quiet now after they did the terminal swap thing. It used to be BA north and Virgin south but they changed in January. Something to do with getting all the EasyJet flights into the same terminal.
Hope you’ve booked something nice. I’m busily studying the BA sale prices and trying to figure out the quickest and cheapest way to get our bronze status back :cool:

I have shamelessly pinched this from another thread so the credit is not mine....but I did think of mhoc and her coffee pod search.... a little late to order to go in the christmas gift but something that you could send the samples around the family...

l'or also have a TMF on ground coffee at the moment ....I found some stickered packs in W so worth looking out for ...till spits at W bought my purchase down to £2 but it refunded the full price of £4 quickly though paypal or bank account.

Thank you! Was this for Gatwick south? We got turned away with our priority pass last time we tried because it was so busy and we hadn’t booked.

We have priority pass as a benefit of our bank account. There is no way of pre-booking lounges. It's a real bug bear that they are often full, with a queue and those that have pre-booked are moved to the front . I wouldn;t mind if there was an option to pre-book but there isn't. If it wasn't that most of the time we are in the BA lounges I would make a complaint to the bank that a benefit isn't being delivered.

Carrots boiled in some butter instead of water is also amazingly nice!

They call that frying down here

Just had some boiled bacon in a little oil in a big flat pan. Bloody lovely in a crusty roll:D

Which bank account is this please Silvercar? I've looked into getting one with AMEX but can't justify the price. :eek:
