    At Last. Proof of What I Suspected Might Be Actually True

    Maybe this is why some visa applications take so long..... Not funny....


    "Border Agency staff sent to ease airport queues at Heathrow 'sleeping on duty, drinking coffee and trying on sunglasses in the duty free area"

    They are treating the public badly, they know there is little people can do but wait.

    Just to give a balance to the story, I landed Heathrow on Wednesday night 20.30 and was a touch concerned from all the reports I wouldnt be able to catch the last available tube (departing 22.09) to connect with the Leeds train.

    I actually cleared Immigration, baggage and customs by 20.50.....and caught the 21.09 so plenty of time.

    Obviously a UK passport holder but somethings arent always as they are reported.

    Yes its amazing that if you pay the exhorbitant £800+ fee for a personal appearance they can basically do it while u wait, but it the mail it can take months even though the fee for postal applications is hardly cheap and it causes so much anxiety whilst the laborious process grinds away

    It's not about the UK/EU passport holder desks though .

    Those from Romania and other scum nations can waltz through in minutes, just as you did.

    Poor little Filipinas with settlement visas who may have been travelling for a couple of days are the ones treated like pieces of .

    Yep...I recommend everyone buys tickets for their ladies to enter using nearest regional airport.

    Sod Heathrow.

    I remember coming into Leeds/Bradford one time at about 2 in the morning....no customs. No anybody.

    1 hour 30 mins from York train station right into the airport at Manchester.

    Also £4 cheaper buying the return ticket at the station on the day than buying so-called cheaper on-line.
