They really are talking shite, if my bro has just landed in Heathrow it can't be that bad and why are they saying that particular airport is closed?

There are still loads of flights that have been cancelled and therefore lots of frustrated people.
"They" aren't saying the airport is closed. "They" are saying that travel has been disrupted.
From the BBC news website, for example:
I personally haven't seen or heard any news reports saying the airport is totally closed.
Neither have I, in fact on the BBC news this 9 am morning they said a few flights have taken off and some had landed. There are many cancellations though.
Landing a plane is not so complicated as getting one ready for departure and actually taking off. As far as I know there is nobody up in the sky de-icing the plane before landing. Try to take off with ice on the plane and it is usually disaster. So the media are not taking shite are they?
D'oh! You quoted my post before I edited the typo! I'm embarrassed! :D
I have sorted it, typo corrected, easily done:D
It's the taking off and frozen planes that are casuing the problems!
tbh I think they just needed to stop for a day and get things sorted.
I feel extremely sorry for people stranded at airports at the moment, & on the roads, but especially the ones not able to fly. Christmas ruined for them.
flights were coming in to t5 this morning.
