Thread Drift
I'm with Bar none. Too much thread drift.
Accept the concept of North of England finance etc, however, this is not the forum for it.
To a degree I understand the need for some infrastructure discussion including ground transport etc , however the thrust of this thread should be specific to rumours and news of Manchester Airport.
Tax and accounting lessons are NOT specific to Manchester because you could apply these same arguments to Liverpool, Leeds, Newcastle airports etc.
Therefore start a new thread.
