The last post pretty much summarizes the way the South sees the North even if the origin of the poster is unknown. The argument goes; current problems have all been imported from somewhere else....things were all much better before. You might as well go on and add something along the lines that 'at least the trains ran on time in the good old days and everyone knew their place....of course sadly a very long time ago.'
My favorite was always 'why is Iberia like the holy family.... because the son always sits on the right hand side of the father.' (Getting a job was clearly easier if you had connections.) Anyone suggesting things could be done better does not understand and must be wrong. Given BA's recent experience with BM it is a fair question just how much Iberia is worth....I think a minus value is perfectly possible. As the Belgians, Swiss, Italians, Greeks and many more have discovered national airlines are not immune from going bust.
