BRS v CWL

Crackling jets remarks on the 19th are spot on. Time to bury once and for all this BRS v CWL rivalry. As he stated in the late 1980,s early 1990,s BRS had the dynamic Les Wilson and team driving the business ever upwards. CWL was at that time rum by a consortium of three County Councils. It was management by committee in other words no decisions could be made without reference back to three sets of councils and we all know how inefficient that is.
However, with reference to the "pasty farmers from the valleys" they went to one of the west countries finest schools - Taunton. They must have have learned something there as they are now both multi milionaires and that was before their company TBI bought Cardiff Luton & Belfast International airports.
