National Express

To-days the day.....Julie will pick us up at about 11.45 and deliver us to East Midlands Airport.Not as grand as it sounds because that is where we pick up the National Express coach bound for Heathrow.
The good side is that once on the coach we will be deposited directly outside Terminal 4.
The downside is that travel by coach and customer service is reminiscent of pre Thatcher Britain.
After waiting in the rain/snow/wind and whatever else ...the coach will turn up late and a surly driver will throw your baggages into the hold resenting the fact that you are encroaching on his 'fag' time. This will be followed by a Grand Prix start around the minor roads before reaching the motorway and settling into a steady 40mph all the way to Heathrow.
Oh well....its only 3.25 hours
