I rang to ask if I could park in front of Heathrow to pick her up, they said no, I'd have to park in the car park. I asked if they could wheel her to the car, they said no, they weren't insured to wheel her outside the doors. It was disgraceful! luckily the guy who did wheel her out of customs said 'fuck the rules' and wheeled her all the way to the carpark.Vihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03765245225983839101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34940564.post-66589138293408063572007-10-11T09:13:00.000+01:002007-10-11T09:13:00.000+01:00Thanks Casdok, it is a bit of a 'mare!You've remin...Thanks Casdok, it is a bit of a 'mare!<BR/><BR/>You've reminded me of a friend of mine who's severely autistic brother came to visit her from the Czech republic. Once home he then went missing for several days, only to be found in the cells at the airport. He had managed to get himself all the way across Prague, through the airport, to the correct airline, and was arrested trying to board a flight. <BR/>It didn't take long for the police to work out he had major learning difficulties, but as he was alone with no ID it took them days to find who he was. <BR/>I've always been hugely impressed at his determination to return to the sister he loves, and the incredible ability he had to remember his way through a scary city/airport etc alone. He's also non verbal. Just incredible!
