I've been on the Heathrow Express a few times, but never in a business capacity. There has to be a certain irony to the fact they're really marketing the train's t-mobile wireless connection whilst at the same time there are no plug sockets (yes, I'm still ranting about them) and only tables in first class. Shocker.
That said, on the basis you've got a charged laptop and you're in first class, it's a top notch experience.
Sitting in the airport I also realised what a pleasure this week has been not constantly signing up up for wireless vouchers. I don't know if there are many people as obsessed as I am, but wherever there is wireless hostpot you'll invariably find me tapping in my credit card details for an hour of connectivity. In fact it's pretty frequent that I try and connect at each of the railway stations on the way home just to squeeze all the value from my hours voucher!
Also, I'm not sure if there are as many people as inpatient as me, but I get massively frustrated with just how difficult it is to buy these vouchers. It's as if they create the sign up as some kind of social filter to enable only the digitally elite to connect.
Anyway, was back in London for early afternoon. Headed up to a client's for a quick catch up (where I spent the first few minutes plugging in all the technology!) and am now wrapping up my day in a park near Euston.
Summary:
Still having battery issues. Quite amused because I've received loads of emails from people reading this blog who have suffered from the same problems. At least I'm not alone! Heathrow is, well what can I say, Heathrow. Proved my theory about uninspiring places being good places for me to get work done. Look forward to what tomorrow has in store.
