LCY delays

the scot dornier WAS struck by lightning, this of course was not the fault of LCY atc, however the delaying action put on the inbound traffic - due to ramp congestion left LATCC no option but to route lcy traffic all round the sky. Being an infrequent user of LCY I have always found the tower extremely helpful, I tend to think that they are forced into the situation of delaying inbounds because the airport management don't want to turn away revenue. When it gets to the situation of being forced to hold off in crap conditions so that the airport owners can line their pockets then surely the flags are up to say that they have reached or exceeded capacity. Maybe LCY as a goodwill gesture will offer to reimburse operators for all damage, lost revenue, etc. P.S. I also believe inthe tooth fairy,santa claus and that the meek shall inherit.......etc
