Heathrow and waiting

19/08/2007 by Peter Miller.

I thought it best to get here early, so we have arrived 4 hours before take off.  Due to the eco warriors there is a heavy police presence so really it was a good idea.

The place is packed and it’s not really worth terminal hopping because as usual it is pouring down with rain.

So far everything is running like clockwork and fingers and toes are crossed.  It is going to be a long 9 hours.  We will leave at 12.30, arrive 9.30 pm our time which I think is around 2 pm Canada time.  Therefore we will have to live some of the day again, does that mean we live longer?

Message coming over the tannoy.  Can the person who has left an unattended brown suitcase by the Turkish check in please collect their luggage otherwise it will be destroyed.  One born every minute.

These internet cafes are great, one can while away sometime.  For some reason though certain sites are restricted.  I was looking for a “pawn” shop in case we run out of money and this message came up “Access Denied”, I wonder why.

Whoever left his suitcase has not yet collected it and the tannoy lady is sounding more and more frantic.

Oh well!  Time to go, will hopefully catch up in Canada.  TTFN
