I haven't found one yet that works at LHR, MAN, GLA, EDI or ABN.
Recently I've been flying in and out of EDI every few weeks and it is so annoying being told to queue up for the e-gate when you know it won't work and when you ask to just go to a person they tell you no.
At Christmas I did suggest to one of the jobsworth "cattle handlers" that I would bet them £10 that the e-gate wouldn't work with my passport - that seemed to shut them up.
