OK Onan. So why do you keep coming back?

Sure, LPL has got the publicity. After all, naming a Tin Shed after a
druggie who chose to get out of the place as fast as he could, merits
something to wrap the fish'n'chips in, I guess.

First: Use your own words and don't plagiarise from other lists. Your reply has appeared on a number of other list's authored by someone named Maureen and/or Dave. I don't know who was first with it but it certainly wasn't you. I will supply the links if you wish!
Second: Who really gives a **** what Liverpool calls it's airport?
Third: Liverpool (Bristol, Newcastle, Leeds, Coventry, Glasgow, Belfast, Cardiff etc.) has at least one thing going for it. It's not manchester. :-))

That "Tin Shed" was the fastest growing Airport in the World last year, it has come a long way since the old days! And within the next few months, it will be one of the most modern!

Rockwell, the naming of Liverpool in this way was to provide publicity for the airport and you have done your bit to keep Liverpool Airport in the publics eye as this thread has proved!

Maybe you could use all your influence to see if MAN can do the same. Maybe "The Cheshire OASIS Airport"?

I could not have failed to notice by your failure to post on the "British Airways Regional routes to BACE at Manchester" thread
or is it too painful to see the "downsizing" to 50 seaters and what could be the end of BA in MAN(160to4DME)?

What are you on, Onan? Honest, they are my own words, I know 'cos I
typed them

I haven't seen any other lists. After all, there is only one and it is
this one, is it not?

Maureen? Dave? Are these new airport names per chance?
Ah! Maureen, one of my favourite MAN voices - fame again lass!

Onan, I hope you enjoy your next flight from Lester's utopian airport. Pity
that your destination will unfortunately have to be MAN, because your
national airline and other Canadian operators prefer it.

BTW, I am impressed with your knowledge of UK airports. Especially
noted is your ability to differentiate between their locations. Well
done, sir!

P.S. I would have thought that Liverpool Airport's management actually
gives a ****, considering they must think it is a great idea.

Any truth to rumor that the LPL will be changed to LSD? Perhaps POT??

Does anyone have a good airport to honour the late great Jimmy Hendrix? That would certainly upset the narcos wouldn't it

You are even more tiresome with your anti Liverpool rhetoric as Onan is with his dislike of the city of Manchester. As to your comments about Toronto LBP, here are some facts. YYZ presently handles almost double the pax throughput as MAN. YYZ presently has three terminals, two of which (2&3)are each bigger in area than MAN's two terminals combined. Upon completion of it's terminal re-development and the completion of it's six (YES SIX!!) runways, YYZ will have a capicity of 60 million pax throughput per annum. Not bad for an outpost of Empire. Eh!

Might I suggest that you and Onan take your petty childish feud elsewhere? At least Onan has stated a reason for his dislike of Manchester, what's your reason for disliking Liverpool so much? No! don't answer that, i'm not really interested.

AOG-YYZ, or should I say Onan:

Your ignorance of the Bridgewater Hall is one thing, but when you throw
in your veiled insults re. Mancunians, then don't be surprised at the
response you got.

Thank you for the YYZ info: as I said, a splendid airport which, as you
know, can be reached on daily flights ex-MAN.

I have to agree, YYZ is a rather nice airport - but it would be an awful lot better if it had subway and/or rail connections.

As a fellow Liverpudlian, I can't see anythin' wrong with this namin' thing! May be it should've been the 'Stelios Liverpool Airport', but never mind.

Apparently when we get our second, third and fourth terminals (??) they'll be named John, Paul, Ringo and George!

Cheers!

Oh! and how sorely we need a subway link. But I have heard that negotiations are under way with CN and GO to provide a link to the GO Station at Malton. A LRT with Kipling TTC station would be much better.

Liverpool John Lennon Airport?
As a local wag suggested, I suppose they'll be naming the tax free after Ken Dodd!!

Yes apparently city officials are waiting to get the Olympics before they create a rail link from downtown to YYZ.

Could be a long wait...
