What is a 'NIMBY'
evening all...
much effort has been expended over the past few months in an effort to discover the meaning of the expression 'NIMBY' without much success
ok.. not that much effort but as I am from south of the border, I figure it's a local expression so someone please shed some light...
cheers

The true NIMBY will protest at having something near their house, but will happily use it if it is built elsewhere. Airfields are but one example - your NIMBY will moan about everything from Landfill to Supermarkets....

can you explain "obsessive compulsive" - yes, otherwise known as a NIMBY.
Talking of which. It really annoys me living 5 miles south of Gatwick - those bl**dy planes make so much noise going over.
Having Redhill 2 miles away is handy though.

I laugh when people complain about new rwy's the reason they bought that house was because it was cheap, and it was cheap because it was by an airport, the only ones i have sympathy with are those who bought thier house before the airport.

Working in the telecommunications industry - raping and pillaging the countryside, you know that sort of stuff, we come across another sadly not isolated type - the BANANA...!!!
