I am enjoying a few days down here on the Algarve coast but also, with one eye. on what is happening on F4A.
I am relatively old now but one thing that always irks me is when people quote statistics without any reference to actual data.
So, for starters, when people talk about cranes, what are they talking about? Stepladders....small cranes... big cranes.... giant cranes and in what geographical area? let's get some perspective in this, if we are going to talk about cranes then we should be stipulating a minimum height at the very least. I will leave that to others to decide..
Secondly when people talk about economic statistics, can they please give the source from which they have gleaned this information and the specific dates on which this information was released. There has to be some credibility to this information, so without it,it is meaningless.
Thirdly, the size of an airport, the number of passengers any airport handles is bringing the discussion down to the level of football alllegience. Because one city has one or two fabulously successful clubs, does that really mean that city is better than any other? Sadly, it often means that city has a higher propensity to violence and murder.
Let's get some perspective into our discussions.
Toodle pip!
