Sounds like a run-in with Airport workers, not BA. And yes, they are
pointlessly rule-bound.
BA is by far the best airline to travel in my experience. Most other
airlines are worse, and no North American airline is even in competition

I've flown over 2 million miles since 1993. BA, Virgin, United,

If it's of any consolation, I've had quite the same experience with
other airlines. BA were one of the better ones to fly.

Because of the better ones. The ones that buy Pentax among other

Same here. Particularly on transatlantic flights.
My absolute worst airline is Air France. I've arrived over an hour

I've had nothing but great experiences with British Airways. Great
business class seating. Good food. And they've frequently given me
first class upgrades without asking. In first, you get what amounts to

Is it in a different county? Are you on a well and septic tank system or
a domestic utility?
As an aside, it isn't a hot water heater
The hot water heater is under the house so no way to connect it to drain
out into the drain unless we do it directly by taking off one of the
clean off values on the pipes.
