BIRGIT COMPTON'S
POSH CLOTHES & PONYTAILS - Page twenty
We're finally starting to warm to British Airway's most recent uniform, especially since Birgit got one of
her own.  Another plus-point, unlike on BA's short haul flights, since their recent cut-backs, Birgit has
even been known to serve proper breakfasts while so attired.  
Recently BA staff were 'invited' to work for free for a month, to save
money.  Birgit complained she never gets paid, but I think she's missing
the point.
Further cut-backs meant some less pretty crew had to travel in the overhead lockers.
Probably the best features of the new uniform are the finely detailed white blouse, it has an
interesting high-quality textured weave and details like the red piping and lining to the inside of the
collar and also the patterned scarf-thing, usually worn tucked it at the front. You can tell by our use
of terminology that we know exactly what we're talking about here.
