A quote in the Telegraph:
"I think easyJet should just fly from Bristol," said Kerry Francis, 26, who was trying to return to Spain with her four-year-old daughter after spending Christmas in Trowbridge, Wilts.
"If the airport authorities thinks the runway is safe, that's good enough for me."
I'm not surprised that some members of the public might think like this, but it does say something about the quality of our media that these are reported without question or comment!
