Talking LHR "grooved" Runway?!

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to find out if LHR has grooved runways? This came about as LHR never says that it has a "wet" runway on the ATIS. The only way that this could possibly be is if the runways were grooved (in which case they are technically dry for a/c performance).

In our airline I am quite often critisised for briefing to use dry performance figures out of LHR and am told to use wet (eg if the ground is wet) - even though the runway is grooved! What do others do?

Any ideas?!
