Until the 1800’s, as punishment for petty crime, they deported their “criminals” to a far away place that subsequently turned out to be far better than where they were being deported from. Now, they invade this country each summer to watch a game called cricket, which they also invented, but forgot how to play (at around the same time they started deporting their criminals here). Hard to believe they gave the world both the Magna Carta, and Benny Hill.
I’ve heard many a story about the chaos that is Heathrow. They didn’t prepare me for it though. A non-functional loop, laughable crowd “control”, and summer “heat”, all combined to create a stressful last leg.
