Letter of the day

From today's Metro: (not available online)

I'd like to ask all these people who are so worried about living near an airport with extra runways: why did you move there in the first place? It's not like they slipped Heathrow in last year while you weren't looking, is it?

I love comments like that. Just cuts the crap and gets to the point. Good question, why the fuck move there in the first place?

Because there are lots of jobs at all skill levels at Heathrow; because houses there are relatively cheap (noise pollution); and because it's handy for getting to the airport?
