Stanstead Runway orientation

Can anyone explain to me why it the decision was taken to change to Rwy 05 this am when the wind was 330/<04 kts,
iIfeel, as a pilot, that as a rule of thumb any 05 operation adds at least 5 mins to every in or outbound sector and would love to hear the rationale from your end?

also, like most of my colleagues, I would like to meet the face behind the voice, does anyone fancy an XMAS "Stanbash"?
I am not suggesting that it should have to be on the same lines as the gatbash, but perhaps just an informal rendezvous at a local pub both lunchtime and evening on 2 or 3 days to enable the maximum number of people to get together, I am sure it would be of great value to all of us
