MAN=DUMP
Agreed Mickeyman.
Sadly, MAN is generally considered the worst airport in the UK as a working base to fly from. The traffic through Duty-Free, the overbearing Security Staff (not all, but a few nasty ones), the dreadful long ATIS, the apalling taxi markings, the undisciplined vehicular traffic airside, and the crammed International Arrivals Hall in T1 all contribute. (ATC do their best, but their radar gives no indication of wx returns, and this makes approaches/holding difficult during stormy wx).
Not a good airport.
