Yes, merlinxx, I sympathise with the points you have made!
I've gone from LGW to LHR kicking and screaming because I don't think BA at Gatwick has much of a future and I'm too old to start a pension with someone else!
I do try and influence Heathrow into the "Gatwick Way" - and I have to say Terminal One does have a similar atmosphere to Gatters - but somehow I'm farting against thunder!
Big Airways thinks the world begins and ends at Hounslow Bus Garage and a little cog like me isn't going to change their minds!
