Picked up some toiletries in Boots, and then off to the the lounge - fourth floor one as generally quieter and brighter. Both floors were very quiet. Caught up on some work and had a nibble - standard salad and soup (today was tomato - good with a bit of Tabasco). Lounge started to get busier, with more people starting to drink alcohol (I saved myself for the plane!).
Headed on down to the gate, and after a short while boarding for Club Europe and Silver/Gold card holders. Settled into 2C in a relatively full five rows of Club.
Short taxi and quick take-off. Shortly afterwards drinks service commenced in club - noticed that the hot towels and pretzels have gone now (obviously part of the cost saving!). As it was between lunch and dinner it was 'afternoon tea' - four small triangle sandwiches, piece of cake and a scone. It was ok, but not as good as a proper meal service.
Worked after the food, and all too soon it was time to land. BA now use T1 - the new glass terminal in the middle of the airport. It is very spacious and quiet compared to the old T2. Headed off to grab a cab into town - seemed to me more organised than at T2.
