Comment on Heathrow demolition starts today… by Robbie

Wow! It’s about time Heathrow rebuilds its terminals, I think all of them (except T5) needs rebuilding. There should also be a 6th terminal and 3rd runway. Heathrow expansion is a good thing and should most definitely go-ahead, it will really help UK tourism. The only airports in the UK that need another runway is Heathrow and Birmingham, certainly not Stansted. I love Stansted the way it is and we don’t need two London airports to get another runway. It makes much more sense to expand Heathrow rather than Stansted as Heathrow is alot closer to London and is already very big so people near by are use to a busy airport and Stansted is a low cost base and low cost airlines (particually Ryanair, by far the largest airline at Stansted) don’t fly to large expensive airports like Heathrow, so where are they all going to go. Heathrow expansion: YES!, Birmingham expansion: YES!, Bristol expansion: NO! Stansted expansion: NO!

Not sure which version of their software was used but I can tell you that it came from Applied Science International – I will drop them a line now and ask them to provide some more information here.

for some reason this will not load on my computer,and in a way i am glad but i can only imagine what happened.I have seen the damage a quake can do in Italy a few years ago,nothing is left safe from a shed to a block of flats/offices.But the fact remains here and worldwide that if you are in a machine dont take it for granted your safe,use those who work in the game not some poor driver who may dig a hole ok but has no idea how to spot a possible collapse of a building.As with many, my regards and respect to him for what he was trying to prevent and it did not fall on a full school

Well what can I say it certainly adds a new dimension to workwear, I am not sure how safe it would be depending on what kind of work you are doing but I love the idea, The girls would be whistling at the workmen for a change.
