ah jaysus lads, ye have me feelin sorry for poor tom now!
You do make the point well though, its unfair to just blame SNN for everything.. you may forget, but for many years we in SNN had to endure the trek to ORK to catch a European flight, in much the same way as the stopover lark means a trip up here for yourselves.
Additionally, although we may well have the airbridges and the long runway, those airbridges are pretty much in tatters, and the runway could do with a re-surface, so we havent exactly been getting it all our own way! In any case, the notion that we are laughing in SNN and constantly trying to get one over on ORK is nonsense.
By the way, for the record, I dont and never have agreed with the stopover policy. This place has been shored up for too bloody long and needs to stand on its own two feet.
Might I add tom, you have enough problems with Crime and gangs in ORK, just been lucky enough to avoid getting the bad name!
