This is when you turn to Gatwick [

How are they going to return all those bags though? They said they need to scan the bags manually!

I saw him doing a silly walk down the road the other day. I knew it was him because God walks in mysterious ways.

As for terminal 5 I think they should put up a sign saying "Welcome to England, home of the white elephant"

Cause you don't know what you will be given back... mystery bag or gift that someone els had...Have you ever done a white elephant gift exchange.. You exchange something you don't want for another gift someone else doesn't want..etc etc... at least here thats how we do it!

As for terminal 5 I gather the staff unions said they should start gradually rather than with a big bang. The managers didn't listen.

Start with just 1 plane a day. It already took years and this way it will take them perhaps as long again to regain the reputation they lost.
