After landing at Stansted there was some discussion about whether to disembark (some pax living in the area were particularly keen to do so).
We were on the ground for a couple of hours before flying on to LHR (15 mins wheels up to wheels down).
Wrt refuelling, we were delayed departing Innsbruck to refuel. We then had to refuel again at Stansted.
Free soft drinks were dispensed on board during the delay.
There was much discussion on board about compensation for the eventual 3hr or so delay in landing at T5, but presumed by all that would be rejected due to it being extreme weather-related.
