We can go round in circles all day long about Assistants/Controllers and mobile grades etc.
However i would suggest that if we were being moved near to Edinburgh then most people would be happy BUT we are not.
We have a fantastic standard life at Manchester.
The city and its attractions/facilities/what it has to offer etc plus being next to a major international airport is the reason a lot of people do not want to move.
Prestwick has nothing to offer us and Glasgow ( a city i know very well ) has plus points but not as good.
Also something that i have witnessed many times in Glasgow (and other Scottish cities) is a hatred from some people to the English and the Sectarian element in and around Glasgow.
People down here are pissed off at being moved somewhere they really dont want to go.Swanwick aint great but its better than the other direction.
For most people down here including me (a great big ugly Jock) the move north will not enhance our quality of life but reduce it .
We are not against working with the guys and gals from Prestwick but i can assure you there is a great deal of unrest at moving up there.
