A brilliant example of what hospitality in this area means from some people - (for those not in the know it has meant in the distant past murdering your guests in their beds!!!)

Mostly it just means hotels where all the staff are from well outside the area.

Most of the locals who know anything are just very embarassed by the mess the council have made - it does tend to make them pretty sensitive though...

The 'rules' which are inconsistently applied are a pain - but it is the only practical place to get fuel. I generally try to fly to the west and back on full tanks to avoid having to stop there for a whole variety of reasons.

To those who have to stop - it is no worst than many regional airports which have delusions way above their actual position - it is simply even more incongruous. So read the guide, ask for PPR, religiously follow the rules and your visit will probably be fine. ('fine' local venacular for good!)
