The following item appeared in today's Manchester Evening News.
SMITHS FRONTMAN IN FRAME IF MANCHESTER IS RE-BRANDED
MORRISSEY - A CHARMING NAME FOR AN AIRPORT?
Welcome to Morrissey airport.
It may seem like a flight of fancy, but the idea of a new name for the city's airport could yet take off.
The morose singer-song writer of the 1980's group The Smiths is one of the more perhaps unlikely of a long list of Great Mancunians who could lend a little kudos and glamour to the two runways and three terminals.
The article goes on to say how high profile Liverpool airport is since it became the John Lennon airport and other airports are named after people such as JFK in New York and Charles de Gaulle in Paris etc.
Other suggestions mentioned are the Bee Gees, LS Lowry, Gracie Fields, Emmeline Pankhurst, Alan Turing - and in typical MEN 'we love Man United and must get their name into any article' style - Eric Cantona (a Frenchman!)
The piece said you could comment on this on the website, but I couldnt find the link to this article at all - if anyone else can??
