onlyfools comments on KLM-Manston: analysis
I overheard a conversation @ the last Manston meeting, Charles Buchanan talking about the KLM service to some of his supporters - he said on the busy days the price will rise, so be careful when booking.

AES comments on Thanet to play a crucial role in 21st Century Kent
It's great to see that Kent is considered to be at the forefront of the environmental economy. It's important to mention that it's not only wind and tidal power that is becoming more prevalent. Biomass production is increasing rapidly, in both ...
Rob comments on KLM-Manston: analysis
The poll was laughable. I took it to see what it was like and by the way the questions were asked it appeared I was resoundingly in favor of the service, despite the fact I actually think the service is pointless/unnecessary. ...
Ms Gabriel comments on Agenda for Public KIACC meeting
Never under-estimate a binman! Being middle-class is neither working or upper class, just in the middle. Neither is it necessarily synonymous with intelligence, integrity or service to the community. Binmen can bring civilisation to a standstill in a matter of ...

Catflap comments on Agenda for Public KIACC meeting

Article Excerpt:

This seems to be another fine example of PR puffery in action. It appears that Mr McQuarrie was already "Group Manager Freight Development for both airports" - so it's unclear what he'll be doing that wasn't already in his job description. The only bit of news appears to be that is moving house from Scotland to Margate. Rather poignantly, he is another employee who tries to play up Manston's lack of business as an advantage: "no congestion".

Manston Airport’s ability to attract freight operators has been given a boost with the appointment of an experienced freight development manager - Allan McQuarrie, 46, joined Infratil in 2007 and until recently, has been based at their airport in Prestwick, Glasgow.
