Well you can blame me for bringing up BA, though I wasn't suggesting that they landed long, only that deceleration and braking varied depending on whether they were heading towards or away from T5.

As for DtoA's comment, I don't think the reference to A319s and 757s was intended to support the proposition that landing long was bad even with a long runway, which was just, well, an opinion. It's my opinion too, and I'm not offering any supporting evidence either.
