Question Wake Turbulence

Hi All
Listening this evening to Departures at Heathrow and after a BA Boeing took off, the pilot or first officer came over the radio and reported to the ATCO that he received wake turbulence in the take off from the previous aircraft (another BA). He seemed rather miffed at this and I was just wondering what is the seriousness of this incident.

The ATCO just radioed back and informed the pilot to complete the wake turbulence report and that was it.

Can anybody throw some light on this?

Many Thanks
Kevin
