Probably because Manchester airport is not in Manchester. Like London Luton is not in London.

Surely if a PH Company takes over at Manchester providing everything is licenced in Manchester it shouldn't be a problem should it.


Yes, you're correct......but we dont know where they're licensed?

I wouldn't expect Luton Airport to be in London I'd expect it to be in Luton which is why I expected Manchester Airport to be in Manchester but I suppose I should always expect the unexpected :wink:

Luton airport is called London Luton, you also have London Gatwick, London Stansted and London Heathrow. How many of these airports are actually in London? Nottingham East Midlands is not in Nottingham, Birmingham airport is not in Birmingham. And Robin Hood airport has [edited by admin] all to do with Robin Hood. :D

Whatever I say he wont believe......yet one asian applies for a license in the Scots Borders and it's the end of the world.......strange how epople dont give a sh*t about dereg until they think they aint gonna earn any money aint it.

So lets limit those other professions that keep our prices low? even though they...... because of the description cover many a different clientele?

I digress, manchester airport is a strange one.....it still links itself with the city......yet the city dont seem to want to return the compliment......my views are known on this.......and for all my baiting skip has a good point, the trade at the airport are best placed to sort the situation......yet dont.

(I cant believe I agree with skip......!)
