Agreed, and I do. And, with a UK passport, I don't have to wait for immigration control. Despite this amazing turn of speed, worthy of the great Usain Bolt himself, my bags are still always waiting for me when I arrive at the baggage claim. It may not be pretty, but LHR T1 is a fantastic terminal for regular travellers (but I'm tempting fate here, as I'm using it tomorrow...)
