Lou Scannon,
I bought a house in this area 5 years ago. I knew Gatwick was just down the road and now I'm going to petition all of the local residents to get the bloody place closed down. It's become very clear to me that the place is a focal point for pilots and flight crew to use in order that they can take off for sunnier climes so that they can enjoy themselves at my, the paying customer's expense.
The fact that it's very handy for a) business trips and b) holidays and c) the local economy has completely escaped me....
I like the idea of closing off the M25 though. That would be peaceful!
....Oops, I forgot that I need to use the M25 before 6.00 am on a regular basis.
