BAA 'invented green superjumbo' to OK Heathrow plans

Ha Ha

You can't move to somewhere near an airport then complain about the noise! Heathrow has been there a good while and it probably there when most people moved in, so get used to it.

Less queues and cheaper flights all round. (Almost) everyone is happy

Thats like were I live at. we have an airport called reed hillview. Been there since 1947. People in the are want it shut down do to the noise. Its the oldest thing in the area. I know its a small airport, but how do you not notice an airport thats out in the middle of no were ?
