While most contributing this thread will be aware of the historical rivalry between Lancashire (which is where MAN is situated) and Yorkshire (LBA and Church Fenton) some just reading it may not be. We, (Yorkshire folk) are fed up of having to pour our hard earned money into Lancashire pockets if we can't fly from LBA and fed up of our taxes flying south into Boris's next project or the latest Heathrow extension. And don't get me started on having our kings stolen by the Midlanders! But don't worry LA, it'll all be ok when we finally get independence and Church Fenton becomes the base for Yorkshire Airlines!
