Why didn't it blow up while they were mixing it? What made it blow up? How did they know how long it would take for it to blow up?

Durrr, let me have a stab at answering those difficult questions.

For me the program hit the nail on the head in a lot of respects.
Number of shops, screw the operator for every penny, security manning levels, routing through the terminals to maximise "retail opportunities", customer satisfaction levels, etc.
Tescos ? Insert any other retail outlet.

come on, attacking BAA for maximizing retail revenue, cheap shot.

The things that DID hit the nail on the head were the Car parking charges and the fact that they are heavily in debt. The BAA buy out was the same as Man U's. Borrow to buy, now they are skint.
