For God's sake, - this piece doesn't even pretend to be a news story, - it's just a cliche ridden P.R. puff.- Who really wants to know the pub's called 'the sandpiper' or the derivation of the bloody name?

I think that calling the pub 'The Sandpiper' fulfils an educational role and will be a key talking point for those drinking in the pub.
Because of this very story I've already learned something about sandpipers today. I'll take that glistening nugget of knowledge to the grave.
Well done I say!

In any event, this isn't a "new terminal". It's an extension to the existing one.
As for BAA, the fact that they say "this is the biggest investment we have made since the 1990s" is actually a damning indictment on their recent ownership of the airport.

f you're really standing in for Sydney, you'll need to drop in some incontinent and incoherent rant about the Cooncil, and why this is all their fault. Even though no-one actually is at fault in this instance.

All very jolly. A pint of Guinness at Heathrow's new Terminal 5 Wetherspoon's was £2.55 and £3.10 at the Glasgow airport branch. I always knew that the prices at Glasgow airport bore no relation to reality. Guess they'll recoup the 900K investment sharpish.

Get legless in a pub (while being paid by the newspaper) then write a gushing and uncritical report singing its praises in gratitude for the free drink. It's how journalists always have lived and always will.
