That's not going to work at all is it? If you miss your connection even if it is over the MCT but close to 1 hr, the best case scenario is that you will be rebooked on the next ABZ service. It isn't going to give you an excuse to slack off the LHR-ABZ flight and keep the rest of the booking intact. If you push that too far then the only other likely outcome is that the rest of the ticket will be cancelled as already advised.
