Frontlefthampster,
To be fair on sunny southend, it is only 3 miles further than Stanstead from the city of london, and only 5 miles further away than Luton. In reality with the road system, its also faster to get to. But, I would have to agree with a mad naming policy. And, while we are at it, why do we have to give silly names to our airports? Please stop.
