Heathrow short stay parking is a tax on urgency. A convenience fee on anxiety. It’s for people who need to be right there, right now.
It’s also hilarious to complain about. Every single person who uses it has a story. “I paid £40 to say goodbye to my mum!”
So next time you drive in, laugh. Laugh at the price. Laugh at yourself for paying it. And for goodness’ sake, set a timer on your phone.
That five-minute grace period waits for no one. Not even your Aunt Brenda.
