whingers and chancers on the make

Quote: "The locals are revolting !

Actually, they are great supporters of the airport, despite the efforts of some (read the comments).

Homes under Southend Airport flightpath urged to make compensation claims (From Echo) "

This article makes interesting reading, full of stereotypes:

"professionals" drumming up trade in what appears to be in the "ambulance-chasing" tradition;

someone not bothered by, and not noticing, the increased activity jumping on the "compo" bandwagon anyway (can they be blamed?);

the councillor who did not realise her house was under a flightpath and claims she would not have moved there had she known(!), who did her conveyancing and "searchs"?

All human life is here, unbelievable!

One of the comments states: Quote: "They think they've got it bad! What about the poor people who live near Heathrow - now thats devaluing!!"

Not so! Anyone seen house prices around Heathrow! Not surprising that some Heathrow workers live as far out as Camberley or Woodley.

They all hate SEN until they use it and appreciate the convenience of not having to traipse to a large far-flung airport....
