I did visit West Drayton a number of years ago and an atco bought the first round at the close of proceedings!
Now I know you're making it up!

While I take your point about go arounds caused by departing traffic on the runway, the stabilisation trial should reduce go arounds experienced due to unstable approaches.

As far as your last comment re wasting fuel and time is concerned, the primary aim for any airport operator would surely be to improve runway utilisation?
