All the other airports I've operated into, like Biggin etc, have not asked to see the PLF. All they did was ask "have you filled in the PLF?". (We have)
Assuming that the online PLF is like API - in that you can't fly unless and until you have completed it - then whether you show evidence or not at the UK Border is largely irrelevant as your details will already be on the system.
The other explanation would be that the system simply isn't working. Surely not.
