I'm really starting to get quite bored with all the moaning about the decision to give Terminal 5 the go-ahead.

It's not such a big deal!

I live near the airport and yes, it is very noisy but people should be big enough to admit that after a while, you don't really notice it, with the help of triple glazed windows!

What really gets me is the opposition groups and all that comes with them.

Do they really think that their protests and marches are going to get them anywhere?

When all is said and done, they're just little voices which will always be drowned out.

I'm not against people fighting for what they feel strongly about but it's time for a reality check.

Airport expansions are not approved to make the life of travellers more comfortable, they are approved because of the financial gains that are on offer.

In life, there will always be 'bigwigs' and what they say goes.

We can fight until we are blue in the face but ultimately, money talks and the rest of us just have to put up with it.

I wish to remain anonymous for fear of being lynched by my neighbours.
