The Mrs assures me that my nuts are on the line if we aren't there to pick up her cousin when she walks out at arrivals
I was hoping to at least blag it and send her a message saying "on our way... meet at costa" or some such....
... but that approach seems not to work
Really? If it was my missus and it was her cousin and she told me my nuts were on the line I'd be inclined to tell her to pick her fucking cousin up herself of it was that important. What is it, a fucking state visit?
I think you'll be alright as long as you get away sharpish. A2, M25 definitely the best way. As someone else has said, you could leave 5 minutes early to be sure but I think you'll be ok anyway.
Leave at half time. Go to Heathrow. Sing "we want Roland out" at Heathrow. Find a huge group of Brexiteers joining you and singing "we want Poland out". Avoid arrivals on the Warsaw flight. Get on BBC News.
Flight left 40 mins late and is due to arrive 3 mins early..... sooooo..... am still right on the line....
Gonna get on the road from Norfolk. Still intend to go..... buuuuut.... might have to leave 5 mins early for the first time ever.
I have to do the driving as Chinese only get a year of grace with their own license in the UK (quite generous, actually). She hasn't yet passed the UK test. So... I have to do it. And yes... to the Chinese a family visit IS like a state visit.
My son flies out to Beijing at 5 today. Misses the football, but I will be at the Valley. I hate the drive to Hea5hrow, whichever way I go I wish I had gone the other way, he will do train and tube which is what I always do these days.
Give the football a miss then siv your not really gonna enjoy it as your mind will be thinking about the drive after the game . My wife would sort it out herself though but this would be due to me moaning about the traffic and me screaming this is f@cking ballacks this would also be before I've started the car up after the game. Anyway have a nice day just pre book hotel room at Heathrow for tonight that way if your late you got somewhere to sleep tonight.
Most shopping centres seem to be relatively empty so far. I've been driving straight into car parks that in previous years I've had to queue right down the road to get in to. Everybody has been buying on line
I always go to the BAA/Heathrow site for arrivals and find it pretty accurate. Need to know the flight number, and handy to know where the flight is from (my son changes at Copenhagen this time) and the airline company. If it is a direct flight I suspect it will be terminal 5 which is pretty efficient moving passengers through.

Should ditch it, but can't
Btw... different websites are saying different things about arrival time. Which is most reliable?
Eh Google says diff to Heathrow website

Was in car by 4.35 and at Heathrow for 6pm.
KR wanted to make it easy for you to leave early, it's obvious now
