for the historical record...

...for this may be one of the last days that one arrives at Heathrow to be greeted with Aventure posters of Cheetah Woods in the immigration hall, thoughtfully staring at the ground, and captioned "It's what you do next that matters." Quite so. This is, of course, a photo taken illegally in this area, where cameras are banned, so I'll add it to my week's worth of stealing forbidden visual fruit.

If anyone thinks that Heathrow Terminal 3 looks peculiarly unwelcoming to visitors, they're right. The impression is confirmed when they can't open the luggage hold door because of the driving snow. And then there's the midnight tube trains, packed with people not-so-fresh from their Christmas office parties. Or very fresh indeed, seen from another perspective. And the wait for the cab, in the same driving snow....
