Post EasyJet, LTN and Fog.

As a regular SLF on EasyJet on the LTN-AMS-LTN route I am quite interested in the technology that gets me up and down safely everytime. On Monday night I landed in very thick fog and the pilot came over the PA saying that we had landed on full Autoland. The visibility was absolutely horrendous so I was not suprised. When we pulled up on the stand there were no other Easyjet 737s to be seen. I remember a disclaimer that once appeared on the LTN website saying that the runway was equipped with full cat3? landing system but that the Easy 737s were not. Therefore Easyjet diverted flights during fog. Why was my monday night plane able to land then? (I was on G-EZYI). Can anyone post some insight into the capabilities of LTN and EZY, Ryanair, Monarch etc to continue operating in the fog which seems to plague LTN more than most.
