They say it will see the MAXIMUM (my caps.) number of flights reduced from 120,000 to 111,000. Presumably the higher figure is part of a previous planning consent that has never actually been reached, as the Standard points out it means the ACTUAL number of flights will rise from the current 70,000 to as many as 111,000 (over a 50% increase by my maths).<br /><br /><br />And once again we get the COULD claim. This "it COULD see passenger numbers doubled etc. etc."<br />But then again it COULD see 200 passengers die a huge fireball as more chances of collsion are set up. It COULD see as many as 100 passengers drown as their taxiing plane slips over the very close edge of the dock. Not that I want to worry anyone, just examples of the word COULD used in a way that spin-meisters don't.<br /><br />And the question on lips of millions (or possibly not) - does this mean they will have to alter the title sequence of Eastenders?SteveBnoreply@blogger.com
