The Sweet Service Award goes to the British Airways cabin crew, and Jenny North in particular, who looked after fellow-passenger Dr Wouter Hanekom and I with the greatest of friendliness on the flight between Cape Town and London on Monday. Nothing was too much trouble, and she had a friendly smile. We teased her about a review of the dinner, and she took it all in her stride!

The Sour Service Award goes to Vodacom, for not being able to fix the roaming problem on my cellphone. Despite switching ‘ROAMON’ on the day of my departure at their Waterfront branch, it did not connect with my phone at Heathrow nor in New York. A friend went to Vodacom on my behalf yesterday, and was told that he cannot call on my behalf, and that I must call them, which I cannot do!
