Headline in today's Journal stated the new terminal extension was £25 million. Only when you read the article did you realise they had left out a decimal point and that the amount is actually £.25 million.

Amusing but it does beg the questions exactly what in terms of public works would £250,000 buy these days (even during the credit crunch/recession when builders are desperate for work).

Anyway it is for additional departure space and an international (ooooohhhhh!) baggage reclaim area which apparently has to be separate from the woefully inadequate 10 metre domestic carrousel.

Just awaiting planning permission. But didn't the council announce a £5 million terminal extension about 9 months ago. Is this what happened to it or is this temporary remedial works?
