Hmmmm,
Hooking Fell - were you talking about Ireland, perchance - which although its population is somewhat below the 7m mark and it is indeed cowpat shaped nevertheless manages to sustain a number of airlines including one of Europe's most successful carriers - Ryanair.
Of course, it's also home to that dog of an operation, Aer Lingus (I still say they should allow Bethune to buy them out
) - it's rather odd that SR in their neverending search for the world's sickest (and cheapest) airlines never stopped off in Dublin ... but I digress.
Then of course there's Austria - also home to a rather splendit operation (Lauda Air), which regrettably was taken over by Austrian in a dirty tricks campaign that must have driven John King and Colin Marshall green with envy...
I guess the lesson is never judge the viability of a cowpat by its size!
