Pedant Alert!! Typo on T5 Signage
Just came down the escalator from the Flounge and noticed the small sign at the bottom indicates straight on for gates 1-7. Meanwhile the larger sign some 20ft away is correct in directing you straight on for gates 1-17.
Perhaps a small competition to see if there are any others?

I noticed that the plastic rings from the price tags were not removed from the faux flora on the patio in the Concorde Room. Somewhat appalled (and quite possibly drunk), I took a photo of the offending bouquet.

I actually pointed this signage issue out, along with the confusing diagonal "up" arrow just before the central escalators by World Duty Free, on the middle Saturday test. One of many things BAA ignored
