But again here some head burying in the sand I fear with the added comfort of differing degrees of slicing the real problem.

The Independent`s strap today is "The Southend Airport Runway that`s fringed by gardens"

The Travel correspondent there Simon Calder (yes I know everybody`s favourite) has even so raised interesting points by stating that "Janet Marchant`s misery is a consequence of aviation paralysis" (in this country) basically with demand exceeding suitably planned development to the detriment of all.

He writes...it may be that the travelling public in London & the Southeast collectively decides to fly less or the Government increases taxes to dampen demand for aviation.

It is written already as a consequence of the SEN story beamed around the world & written actually by a travel writer whose job is err travel !.

Have mentioned previously this "story" could actually benefit no one in the industry if it is hijacked by others who are gaining influence with age groups & outlooks different to ours.

Stobart have decided to enter the industry but should be a guardian for it too & a mindful neighbour.

There is a little Swedish girl travelling around Europe meeting with large numbers of leaders & decision makers by train! eschewing air travel with an audience of many millions of younger people.
