Either book your connecting flights together (which is also cheaper and allows compensation for missed connections) or deal with your own stupidity.
Really ignorant response. Try booking connecting flights together using airmiles through the Executive Club - a year ago you could do it but now it will only allow you to book the sectors separately and hence the issue raised earlier whereby you don't seem to able to check your bags right through. If there's stupidity involved here then it also sits with the BA staff who have told me that's now the situation.
