BA - (British Arseholes)

I awoke this morning to the earth stopping news that as a result of Heathrow's fifth terminal being a total cock-up; Britain's air traffic was at a standstill.
For us living outside of the M25 everything seems to be going tickedy boo thank you very much but after I've stopped laughing I will spare a thought for all those poor people forced to spend another night in London.
My previous experiences of BA are not good so I find it rather amusing that it has been found out for being an incompetent airline masquerading as a great British institution.
Only once have I flew BA and this was out of a misguided sense of patriotism. I had been out of the country for nigh on 18 months and thought the idea of returning to the motherland on Britain's flag carrying airline to be a jolly good one. They were by no means the cheapest option available but It was one of the rare occasions where I have felt a sense of brand-loyalty. I was looking forward to "cup of tea Mr Genius", or even a "Would sir care for a hot towel?" but I soon found that the air hostesses were of the obnoxious variety. A smile was obviously too much to ask for and expecting a anything other than a Vicky Pollard shrug of the shoulders was plainly stupid of me.
