Yep.

... and not only that, but quite often at LHR when the boarding process is at a point where the Zone 1 and 2 pax become a trickle, they start asking other zones to come over to the priority boarding stanchions... and not one at a time, but a whole hoard, so if you are a zone 1 or 2 pax and arrive "later", your priority boarding experience has essentially been removed now that you are waiting behind other zones.

So yeah, zone boarding fail. None of the GAs/staff give a fat rat's stinking ars.
