The cheap holiday / stag do brigades are a universal curse, regardless of accents. The highlights: Birmingham – as you describe Manchester – fucking Oasis wannabes, even after all these years Liverpool – can you guess? Gatwick / London – fucking geezers Newcastle - is that even English? Bristol – fucking carrot crunchers Glasgow – full kit wankers I’ve never flown out of Aberdeen to be fair – it may be the exception that proves the rule, although I somehow doubt it. Ive recently done East Midlands (Notts Forest wankers), Cardiff and Southamption (ooarr ooarr w****r). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Slightly off topic, but the worst UK airport I ever used was London City. Bogs overflowing with shite and toilet paper. Roasting hot, overcrowded, full of Londoners. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aberdeen - The brown brogue wearing teuchters battling for space with your world weary oil workers of the world know-it alls. Only advantage of Aberdeen is the bar seating can be within 10 feet of the gate. I have sat with a pint as the queue formed past the table I was sitting at, then watched them stand for 30mins then herd themselves on, before standing, finishing my pint and walking to back of queue that had about 3 people left in it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've belatedly realised that I missed Belfast off my list (like Glasgow, but angrier) and also Dublin. Dublin is, of course, not a UK airport, but I have fond memories of staff nipping into the bar there on several occasions to give us a 5-minute warning to drink up and get to the gate. Guid c***s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dublin was a hoor of a walk from touching down to the exit area if I recall. There's probably about three Kenneth GIFs in there. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanius Mullarkey Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 If I’m going from Dundee, I can literally leave my house and be boarding in a space of 30 minutes. Lack of a bar though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plumpy Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 I fly regularly from Newcastle, short walk from parking, normally take 15 mins to go through security with their new machines. Radars are top notch as I done the planning to get them fixed up un the roof 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plane touches doon, everybody gets antsy and starts reaching for the overheads, 30 mins later it's still taxi'ing to the gate Oh aye, and the bogs were invariably stinking because they were built to service a footfall of about 5% of what Schonefeld actually saw.

East Mids - Carl Froch wannabees in their "gym kit" brands accompanied by the glammed up girlfriend who looks like they are out for a Saturday night. It's pretty funny seeing groups of lads on their stag / lads weekends in the airport bar upstairs sussing out if other groups are from Derby / Nottingham or Leicester. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 The weather this year has been fucking awful. It was a particularly wet and miserable winter iirc and then when Easter came it was cold and pretty underwhelming. We had a couple nice days in May and then it’s been mostly pish since then, occasionally sunny spells but more often torrential rain and wind and bitter cold winds at times. I have shot my self in the foot by not going on holiday abroad this year. I need sunshine. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
