That would be the days of Diamond Service, for everybody. Which is how BMA built up on competitive routes from being a start-up to being a BA equivalent. Are you listening, Donington ?
Those little individual bottles of BMA wine given out as part of the service I used to put unopened in my briefcase if I was driving home. Several built up over time (this was before liquids checks at security) and then the inevitable happened, setting up a major meeting in a client's boardroom I opened my briefcase upside-down, and they all fell out and rolled on the floor and under the new client's director's feet.
This was 1991. Some of my colleagues at the time can still remember it happening !
