If anyone fails to appreciate why this is, they should take time out their next trip here to visit the town of Lockerbie, where any number of residents can explain the need for good airport security in some detail. In my experience there's really no need to wind up at LHR (or LGW) with a ton of exposed film. The day you leave, call in to Metro on the Clerkenwell Road (http://www.metroimaging.co.uk/), they're open 24/7, and will turn round E6 in 90 minutes. They're very good, you won't find a better D&P place anywhere in the world (David Bailey has used them for years, if that matters). The same logic applies to worrying about bringing film here. We're not a third world country, we *do* have shops that sell all types of photographic supplies! David Morton dmorton@journalist.co.uk
