Trapped in the UK since Thursday. No end in sight.  Moved to hotel at 
Heathrow today from Manchester in the north. Booked for flight Monday. I 
don't have a lot of confidence flights will leave as planned. Could be a 
longer stay than I could have ever imagined. If i stay longer, i'll need to 
rent a flat and get a visa :-)  Any good Leica shops in London?
