OK, I apologise. My rant wasnt really about the second runway, I was all for it when it was proposed but really, it's hardly needed. No, my rant was more about the stupid analogies we are fed i.e. the one regarding the escalators or ones like such and such a building is equal to 52.5 football pitches or such and such a ship is as long as 329 london buses.....you get the idea!!
Why cant they treat as as adults and tell us how big it is rather than dumbing it down and equating it to some stupid analogy??
