Mars Bars don't do me any harm as I am on a wheat free diet. Tiny traces aren't really a problem. I've learnt something though, as I thought coeliacs could eat them. This is why it's important to educate ourselves as it's so difficult!

We only recently flew with BA ourselves and were actually quite impressed. The oversight surprises me as they seemed quite knowledgeable and the food was always quite nice, definitely tastier than American Airlines who were our first GF flight.

Got the feeling this is a typo, but love the Freudian slip:

"My finance sensed this and went off to have words with the air hostesses."

Sounds good though besides their slip-up - with the rep plane food has, it's good they have this as an option. Although bet the cheapo ones don't do it... can you imagine Ryanair offering GF food?!
