The priorities are all wrong,take my old man,he developed a bus engine that is odourless and environmentally friendly,he got a big order from london buses,then what happens?the government stopped all grants making the engines unaffordable and now he's in danger of going out of business,does anyones seriously think the APD will make such a difference.When pax figures continue to increase will they admit it hasn't and reduce it? Will they bollox.I'm all for doing our bit but why not look at making airway structures and ATC more efficient and direct which would make a difference,its enough to make your pi$$ boil..
