There won't be at LHR as most aircraft will pick it up via datalink.

Still doesn't change the fact that it will be ignored by one and all. So the only people that win are the datalink suppliers who get paid for all the guff being transmitted.

But hey if it keeps them happy and some office dwellers bum covered pilots will continue to ignore it. To be fair though you do have a DATIS which is taken when everyone is parked up. Which is completely different to having a common ATIS which has to be taken while flying. I presume your arrival ATIS doesn't have has much guff in it.
