British Airways

when we did um our show on uh we did a sellers of milligan mixtape show with uh richard moore earlier this year and we actually talked to quite some depth about that so i think he updated the the song from 80 82 83 for the advert i think um anyway uh listeners check out that the that episode of goon pod for more information on the golden syrup commercial but you can't wait um now harry didn't really seem i mean i'm sure harry did loads of adverts but all over the world probably in australia i imagine he'd have done quite a few in australia uh and probably probably more than we know in in the uk as well but there's only a a couple here that you've shared with me One which did make me laugh, which was Harry flogging British Airways in 1976 on this exotic beach, I guess you'd call it, although it's such a poor quality print.

It looks more like a drizzly beach, but...

He comes out of the water, does an obligatory Jaws reference, of course.

He looks like he's trying to reenact the Skegness is so bracing poster.

But he's trying to...

Yeah, as you say, I think they had this thing going, British Airways trying to flog sort of package deals to, you know, holidays to Torremolinos and blazes like that.

So, but yeah, these...

But our version of pre-recording is like 12 hours earlier.

So, as you know, from the grand saga of British Airways, we are about to board a flight to go to London and then on to Aberdeen via airplane.

Maybe.

Cross your fingers for us.

I asked my father, can I translate my hospitality skills, the art of high-end service, into wealth management? And he said, yes, absolutely, that's possible because we serve the same clientele.

So, you know, the clients who have wealth, who want your wealth managed, they're the same ones that stay at the Four Seasons Hotel or fly first class on British Airways or, you know, have a private wealth membership somewhere.

So, yeah, it made sense.

Also, my dad had asked me to do my Canadian securities course.

That would be a 12-hour flight.

British Airways is not allowed to fly over Russia anymore, so they have to do a detour.

That either means they would have to go over northern Canada and Greenland, or they would have to fly all the way south of Russia through the Caucasus area.

Further on, and that brings the new flight time to 15 hours.

The business rescue practitioner said the grounding was, quote, to ensure that one-time safety would not be compromised, end quote.

Comair, that's Kalula and British Airways, June 2022.

The rescue practitioners stopped every flight on the 1st of June because the funding wasn't confirmed.

The package they were trying to raise was 1.4 billion rand.

I thought, well, my residency is Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

There's a flight on British Airways at 9.50 p.m. on Sunday.

I'll do my show.

I'll go back to British Airways.

I'll stop in England.

In England, I'll go to Switzerland because it was cheaper.

But he's employed, his company is working with some of the biggest companies in the UK, right, making training videos for their staff.

I think he's done Jaguar, BMW, British Airways, Virgin, honestly, but he's done it through social media.

He posts every day on LinkedIn some mad video of him lifting stuff or out of, honestly, and he gets his arse handed to him.

Mate, he's building a multi-million pound industry.

I can't remember the details of the trip, but I will organise all that so I'm across it.

In other news, he says, the British Airways lounge sucks balls.

They have free pour Prosecco.

No, thanks.
