Well that is BA well off my favourite airline list. Unbloody believable.

If you knew some of the people that work on the ramp, man buns and nail polish are pretty mild

Superb! Better even than a night at the Karl Lagerfeld Bondage Dungeons in Bremerhaven!

Mask mandate removed at LHR from Wednesday, which is good news as I couldn’t find one that didn’t clash with my nail polish

Re: BA 'Man Buns' and painted nails.
On a slightly more serious note, I do wonder whether a poncing poofter nancyboy, mincing about in the aisle(s) and wiggling his bottiefalsies and pouting with lipstick gloss and fluttering false eyeleashes like Julian Clary, would have the gravitas and what we used to call command authority to organise an orderly evacuation from a smoke and fire filled pax cabin in the event of a serious emergency.
Personally, I'd rather be ordered to put my arse onto a sloping rubber sheet by Windsor Davis than by Kenneth Williams.

If I need to get out of a cigar tube on fire, I'll be sure to email you to ask advice from your keycutter, Gobs.
Or maybe not.

Re: BA 'Man Buns' and painted nails.
Reminds me of a flight to Cyprus on a 767, chatting to the female CSD in Club, when she came up with the classic line “ two day layover in LCA, me and five male cabin crew, knowing my luck their all gay” .

Re: BA 'Man Buns' and painted nails.
Mrs ExS Mk1 was a BOAC Stdss. She definitely preferred flying with the "suspicious" male crew, meant she didn't get her bottom patted everytime she squeezed into the galley, or fend off "sexually suggestive" phone calls when she got to the crew hotel.
Probably mentioned before ? One of my early trips required two days in Tripoli due an unplanned engine change. The chosen hotel was short of rooms, and I was obliged to share with my Navigator instructor, but in the key assignment I was given a single room, and my instructor was paired with a second steward who was definitely "suspicious", but as the shared accom. had two seperate bedrooms he took one of them , securely locked the door and turned in for the night. Next morning there was a tap on the door and he told the assumed steward to F-off. No Sir, was the answer, I have your breakfast, the Std. having gone down to the hotel kitchen and prepared a breakfast tray ! He then asked where the Nav's uniform shirt was, and offered to wash and iron it.
Eventually the Nav. realised that he was in no danger of being subjected to any unwanted funny business, and lay back and enjoyed two days service, breakfast and morning coffee, some laundry, and a warmed and folded copy of the London Times that the Std. sourced from somewhere, too, that the Std. had enjoyed providing in the role of Gentlemans Gentleman. Takes all sorts.
A million years later, my crew and I were positioning back from Hong Kong as First Class pax. and at one of the stops the crew changed, and when the new cabin crew entered the cabin, the C/Std. who was the second steward from so many years ago recognised me again, as we had flown together once or twice since the earlier trip, and minced down the cabin saying - "Darling Heart, how nice to see you again !!" F-off Xxxx I said (name omitted to protect the innocent ) but my crew were giving me some very odd looks !

Re: BA 'Man Buns' and painted nails.
On Monarch we had a cabin supervisor called Keith but he liked to be called 'Kitty'. He was as bent as a nine bob note. But, outstanding in the role. If we had the misfortune to have an emergency evacuation he would get them out in 90 secs I am convinced. He took no faeces from the great unwashed down the back. After we had crammed 361 seats into the A300-600 it was a job to get them all out in that time. We failed the first certification check with them all expecting it and in running shoes. We just made it on the second one.

Returning from Prague with a load of Geordie stags, the young steward was extremely camp, but managed to win over the stags with his campness and had them complying with his instructions.
