For whatever reason, the catering had not been chilled and had spoiled - no food could be served. There was nothing. Not a thing. Not a biscuit or a bag of nuts. I had to keep going on a cup of tea and glass of water until about 5pm.
Let me get this straight.... you flew into LHR and you were unable to find anything to "keep you going" between the terminal gate and Cranebank.
Seriously ? Its not some remote airstrip out in the bush in a third world country for heavens sake !
Even more so given you're talking about BA here, so you likely arrived at T5 ... and we all know there's a Costa smack bang in front of your face when you enter the arrivals hall. From memory, I think there is also M&S by the cash machines. Hell you could even buy your "biscuit or a bag of nuts" from WHSmith !
Put away that violin, mop up those tears and pull your socks up man !
