Wonder if they're still in Heathrow? Will the airport will be inundated now with similar folk seeing as that couple managed to live there so long!

I thought at one point that they were a couple of actors employed by the DM to highlight the plight of the homeless living in airports such as Heathrow.

Alas, I think that was too altruistic a view.

They're probably holed up somewhere negotiating the film rights for their 'story'...hmm

I read somewhere that people are asking for (and getting) their money back.

I wouldn't mind betting they've done a runner to Canada.

Well, there is a review on Trip Advisor from 6 days ago, but I can't look at it all because it just keeps freezing my computer. However, it does mention a Katrina.
I hope they have not put the evil finger on my pc.
