But it is justa very modest snowfall tonight . the sort than can happen most years here at 52 North but for some reason it is acceptable in Uk to allow disruption on such a large scale because its 'not economic'. Its an airport for xxxx sake it is supposed to be open almost all the time so planes can oeprate not to make money for the woners who along with successive governments have mismanaged the Airport itself and UK runway capcity toa stunning degree.

You cannot allow critical facilites to be utilised at 100% capacity because as has been pointed out once something goes awry the whole problem snowballs ( Hmmm)

I am astonished that after last year and the 'massive investment' and 'lessons will be learned' a very modest snowfall will again bring utter chaos. As it is weather we cannot easily blame the EU,the French,immigrants, the unions, benefit scroungers etc for it and of course it cannot be the fault of Governments of management can it so it must be 'unprecedented or once in a lifetime extreme conditions LoL once again?
