This was the first I'd heard of anything so I was mildly curious so Googled it and sure enough it was mentioned in various places back in 2008 - Where was I?!!
Anyway, it seems that I may get a refund to afford to buy a pint.. ..life changing stuff.
Goodness know how much it's costing to administrate it all, but anyway, if you travelled on Virgin or BA between Aug'04-Mar'06 and have a few minutes to spare you too can apply to get a few more pennies to but a pint
