Goodness! I didn't realise that Heathrow was operating at all on Christmas day!

I think your family should have told you that we Brits don't a thing on X-mas day other than drink sweet sherry, be forced to eat sprouts and admire each others new socks.

Anway, I'll get my own back when I visit Vancouver for the first time later this year :)
