		<description>Keep two things in miind lass. First, London is not a real British city anymore (and you could make that same arguement for all of England!)and second, dont blame us simple islanders for not knowing what goes on down yonder. It&#039;s a world away for most of us. Next time do Edinburgh, a real British city! You won&#039;t be dissappointed!</description>

		<description>Sir Paul : I was for sure wrong to book a flight like that but it was the only available choice. I never blamed Heathrow for the short connection. I was was simply venting my frustrations with the entire process, starting from the bad treatment I received at the Britsh Consulate, to the rude woman etc. But I also mentioned that there were some nice police officers and efficiency from passport control. Simply put, I&#039;m just talking about a personal experience. There&#039;s no need to be sensitive about it. 

London Heathrow is the busiest for sure, but when you work at the airport you need to be prepared to help people. This is the kind of impression that people see as representing your countr. If you can’t do it, then you&#039;re in the wrong place. 

You should also keep in mind, you have never needed to go through Visa procedures and embassy nonsense, so you don’t know what it&#039;s like to be treated as less than someone else just because of your passport. That you could never know. </description>

		<description>Not to be rude, but what were you thinking when you booked your ticket with such a short layover? According to your article the plane only landed 30 minutes late. My Dear, Heathrow is the center of the earth in terms of global travel, the biggest and busiest airport in the world. Four or Five hours at the last are needed to make your connection comfortably and to ensure your that your bags get transferred.

And I woner if you should be so hard on the airport staff. They are told a hundred times a day&quot; I&#039;m late&quot;, they are abused by cranky travellers, and treated poorly by many. If they accomadated everyone, things would never be organized. 

Lastly, you are right, an education in not required for many of these positons, but many of them so work very hard and they should not be jugded becuase of a lack of a university degree. 

Give us another chance, just book a longer layover! Cheers!</description>

		<description>Miss Universe: believe me I stopped myself many times from jumping at that women and beating her but as an Arab, that&#039;s the last thing I want to do. We have a bad reputation all over the world which is not fair. Embassies freak out when they see our passports. This is complete ignorance and you are right, most of these people are uneducated.

Canuckle Head: London is very expensive for sure, I was shocked to see that Canada’s prices are similar to Dubai, even after the taxes. Yes, I was able to eat in Canada and pay reasonable prices as well.

At the end, I have to admit that I got a 6 months Visit Visa from the UK embassy and wasn’t expecting it. That proves again that some employees at the embassies are jerks and they don’t want to help you and this is because he or she chooses to do so.</description>

		<description>Heathrow sucks! Been though there once and would never want to again. No matter how organized it is, its just to big to deal with quickly. Im not a big fan of the 14 dollar sandwiches either. Better luck next time!</description>

		<description>You go girl! I don&#039;t know... I think I might have wacked that Julia B-I-T-C-H out if I were in your shoes. Airports suck everywhere and are filled with sour power mongers, most of who are overpaid and undereducated. Come on, how much training does it take to look through a bag and say &quot;Next please?&quot;  We all have bad days, this doesnt give anyone the right to turn into an ass. </description>
