Doug ) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were
saying : my local Tesco Why on earth would you choose to go to Tesco? Surely that particular chain, of all of them, is the one that is most diagonally opposed to your particular political beliefs and views? I wonder if they were all buying imported food? Probably. But I'll bet they aren't hypocritical enough to moan long and loud about frivolous hypermobility killing the planet whilst they do it. |

Developing Stansted into a 4 runway airport with a high speed train connection (south, north and sast) and closing LHR completely. Hey! Why Stansted? Why not Luton - much better placed for the transport links. Run a rail spur Stevenage - Luton - Leighton Buzzard and you've got the WCML, MML and ECML all linked in. If the Oxford - Cambridge line comes back to life, there's an easy link to the GWML too. I know that the locals won't like this, but there are far less of them. How about this airport on an artificial island in the Thames estuary, then? Even fewer NIMBYs! THINK OF ALL THE SEAGULLS!!!! |

Because Stansted is the one with the least people under the potential flight path(s) Why not Luton Because, like LHR, it's surrounded by a town Have you ever heard of a place called Bishop's Stortford? Nope. Is it anything to do with Bishops Waltham? |
