An effective way of reducing aircraft noise!

Indeed.

All the stupid get-away sheep were on the news bleating about how they'd had
to wait overnight etc blah blah. About time these ****ers suffered some of
the distruption they cause other people in the area who arn't so dumb as to go
away at xmas time but have to suffer all the extra noise and pollution. And no
doubt in a few days we'll have the usual live report from the M1 or M6 as
another flock of sheep all head off out on the motorways at the same time then
act surprised when there are massive traffic jams.

To be fair, it's hard to say that people have been surprised by the
presence of Gatwick - it's been around longer than most people have been
alive and modern planes are far quieter than older models.

With regards to the roads, Christmas is the one time when people like to
be with their families so the disruption can only be expected.

What is unreasonable is people who think it's reasonable to commute 50+
miles every day and not suffer any disruption - if everyone did that
there would be total gridlock continuously.
