Thread drift.....
Pre 9/11 I was lucky to get a cockpit ride on a 757 into Heathrow. On approach a combination of circumstances ended up with us being a bit too close to the aircraft in front. The captain reduced speed to minimum, announced that over the radio and the plane behind us replied "I can't fly that slow". We got landing clearance just before we crossed the perimiter track for 27R. Full braking caused the brake overheat warnings to go off as we taxied towards 28L and T5. Having consulted the manual they decided that the plane would have to take extra time on the stand to let the brakes cool.
