Manchester Airport is not perfect but is a dream compared with somewhere like Heathrow. The problem i find though is that over the last year or so it has gone backwards. I used to find it efficient whereas now it is getting scruffy and the infrastructure is failing(escalators etc as already mentioned). What i really can't stand though is the arrogance of the management. How can you reduce the pay of the security staff whilst giving Miurhead £260,000 P.A.? It totally stinks. By the way i don't work for MAPLC.. .On a different note i like Manchester as a place, i couldn't give a damn about Bill Bryson, and it's crime rate is lower than that of London and Birmingham, and yes that does take into account their higher populations. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="tongue.gif" />
