I'm sure I'll be caught out at some point, but it doesn't seem to have been a problem up to now. Places like AMS remain diabolical, but they always were.
And the automated gate access at LHR for EU citizens is probably not there out of goodwill for the EU, but rather because Priti doesn't want to hire more staff for UKBF. Pretty sure that EU e-gate access for Brits will resume once ETIAS is live in 2023.
