Other times Stansted came up

  1. If you brought in this big airport with all the jobs it created, then maybe it will keep the ugly youth around. Councillor Jay Lukies responded saying it's a feeling that the youth has that they're being brought up amongst squares. Yeah, so it was, you know, it wasn't everyone was against it, but it was, it is quite a beautiful part of the world actually around Stansted. Ugly is really nice.

  2. We should say, Dan. Fewer. Thank you. Yes. This big dragon that arrived in Essex, it was in a place called Henham, which is just north of Stansted. It's about two miles north of Stansted. So what I like to imagine is actually there was like a time travel portal that came in, and it was actually an easy jet flight. Maybe, I don't know. There's loads of other things that he claimed.

  3. Did you know, outrage of outrage, that well first of all I've always been fascinated by traffic light technology and I've like googled this loads before like how they're all coordinated, how many lights are rigged up to the same system because you know they all seem to change in coordination with each other. You have something called a green wave. Do you know what green wave is? I came back from the airport the other day and I was driving from Stansted into central London and it felt like every single light was on green. I just got so lucky. That's because you'd had your crisps, you were in a good mood.
