Actually they were told to. As it happens a BA Airbus had some technical problem that prevented them fully clearing. I saw 2 aircraft carrying out ATC-instructed go-arounds (I thought an EI and a LH, but may be wrong), followed by one (I think) A340 do a visual switch to 27L, before 27R was made available again to landing traffic. All this caused a 10-15 minute start up delay at about 1830 local (to me included).
Furthermore, for all you spotters/journos out there, no big deal, no near death experience, just routine events at a busy airport carried out professionally by professionals.
Because the Flt Crew decided too... [sic]

Naughty naughty, Nigel On Draft, lets not start this one again (will you land if ATC hasn't cleared you?)
I do appreciate in a few years I wil be sitting there, at 200' on finals, wondering how long it will take for a stand / bus etc. when "Woosh" we're off and climbing away and I'll be asking "what's it doing now"... and you will come over the RT and apologise for pressing the wrong button.... Until then
