That would put me off for sure.
I think the time delay you mentioned is just another media scaremongering to get attention. We have friends here who are selling in the UK and renting here and they are having to make frequent trips back to the UK. Not once has there been a delay or issue with customs or passport control, looks like the UK have got the airports sorted.
At present the situation is that , as there’s only a handful of travellers arriving into the UK and the woefully understaffed Border Control can cope. The scenario that Sage has read about, will occur when there’s unfettered travel. Thousands arriving at UK entry points, will have their paperwork scrutinised by the few Border officers and it’s this, that will create delays
Your friends at present do enjoy a relatively free passage, to and fro, to the UK but, that will change.
So, you see, it’s not scaremongering

I do agree current travel is not representative because the numbers are so low.
However, for the same reason these 10 hour delays are figures plucked from the air for the same reason; to date the traffic levels are so low that they cannot possibly say it'll be a "10 hour! queue. Seems like another Daily Wail non-story based on some comments made by airport chiefs.
Travel does not look like its going to be an open or off tap restart but instead a gradual process. Country by country, with various rules to some and less so to others. Vaccination rates at both the resident country of the holidaymaker and the rate of the country visited. Hopefully that gradual reopening will assist in not seeing Border Control faced with a few hundred travellers one day and 500k the next.
This 10 hour idea is sensationalist Mail fodder IMO, certainly at this stage where there are no many unknowns.

Hypothetical conjecture in my humble opinion.
