Hey WHBM
There is a huge outcry over the airport but because it has all the local papers and councillors in its pockets you dont hear it. Google Newham and Fight The Flights. It depends on when your building was built etc etc You are one of the lucky ones.I agree with you about Heathrow too though.And not evryone is at home with the heating on - some poor blighters do have to work outside in the community you know - the poor buggers!
Skipness - You cant say just one flight on a saturday afternoon. They signed up to a section 106 - whether you agree with it or not.
And actually Newham are being unindated with wealth - olympics and crossrail. Its just very very badly managed.Have a look at Building 1000 - The council ended up having to buy it for over £100 million cause no businessess would go into it because of the airport - hardly good for jobs in Newham then.There is a curfew on flights.Its a law. It needs to be respected.
