You don't get as many childish and defensive posts on airliners.net as you do on here, and that's a Plane Spotties website.
Manchester Exile, I know exactly what you are talking about mate, but you're wasting your time trying to tell the Emu's on here, they just won't have it. Dont bother, it's time you'll never get back. After all, you sound like a very frequent business traveller, so what the hell do you know about airports compared to the 'experts' on here.....
Manchester Airport has won 'awards' you know.
