Ok, why is going to Heathrow bad?

Because it's an overcrowded, dirty, hostile place.

You've already admitted that T5 is clean,

I also said it has other problems.

IME T4 was fine as well,

Showing its age badly.

it's the
Central Area that has the problems and they are in the process of trying to
sort that out.[1] It's no more hostile than any other airport.

It always seems to me to be at the poor end of the spectrum, not just
compared to regional airports, but compared to many major overseas
airports.

As for overcrowding, Stanstead late on a summer Sunday night is far
worse than anything I've ever seen at Heathrow.

I'll try not leave on a summer Sunday night then ... too late! I already
have a booking...

heh heh

Arrivals was what I was thinking of, especially when the on-time airline is
90 minutes late again and the last train is long gone.
