I must apologise for this, but I can assure you that this experience was more the exception than the rule. GIA's "Focus On The Fundamentals" program is designed to specifically compensate for issues such as excessive baggage in order to ensure no compromise in On-Time Performance.
The airline is on track to achieve the internal target of 85% on-time and 99.9% dispatch reliability for the year.

Here's an actual picture of your flight waiting to push back at Gatwick!!! Sorry for the poor quality, I only had my phone camera on the ramp and it was freezing! If you look carefully you can perhaps see yourself through one of the windows?
