Why is Heathrow still not up and running?
Because of the same people who yell at you for not wearing a yellow west. Because the same people are trying to "outsafe" each other. Because the Brits have allowed their country to be run by CCTV and the people that will keep them "safe". I love it when I am told "taxi at your own discretion". Are they telling me that if i run into something when this is not said I would be free of any responsibility related to said incident? I doubt it.
I went for a walk from the Cheshunt Marriott the other day and felt like a sheep. All along the sidewalks they had fencing to prevent stupid, incompetent people like me from crossing the road at a place other than that approved by someone that obviously knows much better than me what is safe.
During last years snow event I was delayed from unloading passengers for over one hour while they removed snow from my parking spot. Due to extensive cold weather experience I knew I could safely taxi in there, but the dipsticks wouldn't let me.
Maybe Heathrow will open again by April???
