... you cannot describe it as overwhelmingly happy.
That is one of the
FUNNIEST things I have EVER heard said about LHR. Cheered me up enormously.
No, at dear old EGLL, one is happy when you start the pushback and happy as you leave the tunnel heading for home!
BUT, as it has been my 'home base' port across 38 years, I do know the place and know how to get around it (for the most part) and I do have an affection for the old heap. It is a truly fine example of British Fudge n Mudge. A place that has had central planning for years but can never implement all it's central planning. A place that every govt has dabbled with (or with the carriers using it) and the place just keeps on keeping on.
There is a certain sense of triumph when completing a trip through it and emerging with your bags and body unscathed! Long may she reign over us.
