Up s@it creek without a paddle, comes to mind.

All of the major operators that I have flown for, INSISTED that a minimum of thirty extra minutes of holding fuel be carried, and IF the Captain wanted more...NO argument.
CLEARLY, this is the best policy.
I repeat, there can be NO excuse for low fuel for normal ops at LHR (or indeed, any other airport)...period.
Those who steam 'round on fumes are fools indeed.
