I've departed from one of the new stands, via the shortest bus ride I’ve ever had, but not from the gates yet. However due to the inevitable delay last night (Beyond Amateur LCY to EDI 1805 moved off the stand at 1955 by my watch) i used some of the time to walk down to about gate 23 for a nosey. the place is unbelievably clean looking, nice and white and fresh looking. Wonder what it'll look like in 2 years
And if they do renumber the stands, can we get rid of 2 a, b, c ? WTF?
So with the spare time, I fired up my laptop and browsed to see if there's any wireless internet... come on guys. This is a business orientated airport, an ADSL line a couple of wireless access points costs what £300 / year?
And as for the police. When I arrived in the morning and got on the DLR I glanced at the platform just as I sat down, young armed cop staring straight at me. (No, he wasn't point his gun at me)
i then realised he was actually staring at the young, but very snappily dressed, asian guy sitting next to me. Made me feel proud to be British
