It's nice to be able to touch down on the numbers, for those times when you need to (like short runways), but I've been more embarrassed when landing on LONG runways when I've touched down too soon, and then been asked to keep my speed up and vacate next...
At Southend, there is an important question on short final - is the central taxiway blocked (in which case, land long). There is a tendency to park jets on the central for engine tests. You can then guarantee that I'll do a greaser and be down to walking pace when I get there. Then I look left and see .... oh bother!
