Question Maintain rwy heading?

Hello chaps! (ooh, I'm nervous about coming in here).

Thicko pilot has a question for you- When told to 'maintain runway heading' do you expect us to do exactly that, or should we adjust to maintain the QDR track of the runway? What with the recent winds, it's kinda got me thinking with regard to obstacle clearance etc.. I know in the states that controllers allow for the drift, but what about in the U.K.?

Thanks a lot, keep up the good work (creep)

What goes up............
