The Heathrow Climate Camp has had some odd consequences. Roland Carn, who restores furniture, was stopped by police on a slip road of the M4 as he drove his white van to the airport to pick up his wife Trish, our sub-editor, on her return from covering the Triennial in Dublin. They were quite polite, reports Roland, as they checked his van, paying special attention to the ropes he uses to secure furniture. Did they think he might lasso some airliners with them?
