Must be a day for being grumpy.......




Big headlines in the local SW rag yesterday

RYANAIR SEEKS PAYOUT OVER AIRPORT CLOSURE

Quite right too; the sums hinted at are huge. The paper points out that FR went for £455,000 for a few hours closure at STN.

ASW and Skybus are joining in the fun.

Now, it would be a shame if the taxpayers end up paying for their Council's incompetence.

I know; the officials responsible, from the Town Clerk (Chief Executive or whatever grandiose title is used) downwards should be made to fork out the sums awarded from their obscenely, ridiculously high salaries, if necessary for the next few years. They could manage several millions with even having to cut back much.

After all, they are always telling us how they get these bloated salaries because they have to "take responsibility", and that they are "worth every penny".

So let's see some "responsibility" being taken.

The whole affair was a fiasco.
