More than half UK international airports lack free drinking water fountains

Interesting.

It's taken Heathrow a month (so far) not to reply to my question to them about the T5 water fountains:

I'm not holding my breath.

Another thumbs up for the Three Magpies...

Shhh...don't tell everybody.

?...but how does it get so crowded when it's almost in the middle of nowhere ?

Despite appearances it's not really in the middle of nowhere...aside from local hotels such as the Park Inn directly opposite, and various B&Bs there's actually quite a bit of residential development tucked away behind the garage over the road and further east along the north side of the Bath Road. There are also housing estates up the road opposite the pub that leads up to Sipson (the A408/Sipson Road).

You can of course take an empty bottle through security if it is over 100ml.
Who told you it wasn't allowed? If security, was it MAN? They are in a different league.

Really? Have you never been to Fuerteventura or Williams, Arizona? A few other places spring to mind.
