Fascinating. My bus stop is closer to Stow Park Circle yet it's called Brynhyfryd Road.

Is that because the signwriter suffered a Stroke while sitting at the keyboard?

London City could be on that list.

If you can afford it.
Could be too. Oops. ;)

Well your location looks like two randomly chosen words from an ID card or something.

So there.
Ronnie is victorious, vivacious in victory like a venomous dog. Vile Republicans cease living while the religious retort with rueful rhetoric. These rank thugs resort to violence and swear revenge.

But Ronnie can punch through steel so they lose anyway.

It's not as bad as London Prestwick.

If you're not sure where Prestwick is...

As Metropol's resident Southender, I agree it seems odd for there to be a London Southend Airport, especially when the place consists of nothing but some people who took a wrong turning... but I think I'm right in saying that it was actually London's third airport for some time. Luton obviously took over in time, so did pretty much everywhere, but historically it makes sense, and isn't actually that far from what you'd call London. Also, the airport isn't even in Southend so you could take that part out the name as well to be even more accurate.

Just to be pedantic, it's Stansted, not Stanstead.

Oh goodness, memories of holidays in Greatstone-on-Sea many, many years ago and being right under the flightpath for "Lydd International Airport".

It was a bit like waiting for a bus in Wiltshire nowadays; if I remember rightly, the plane used to come in on a Tuesday afternoon and fly out again on a Thursday morning.

Has it become a but busier since?
