[QUOTE]The common refrain from all of the pax was to compare and contrast the likely treatment at a Brit civvy terminal, if it should ever happen. [QUOTE]

Whilst the troops may not be there in droves, there are always a handful around Terminal 5 in uniform, no doubt making their way home after being dropped at Brize. Whilst they don't get the whooping and hollering one associates with our brethren from across the pond, there is certainly no animosity. A more considered, personal reflection of the job they do perhaps - much more in keeping with the British way...
