I HAVE been to a lot of airports round the world and one is much like another but today I walked from Throop Mill to what used to be one of Great Britain’s friendliest airports, Bournemouth. Not any more it isn’t.

It is the only airport I have encountered that doesn’t have a drop off point for passengers but sends you into some farmer’s back yard “car park”.

You can’t walk there either and the entrance is like entering an army barracks. It’s the most unwelcoming, unfriendly airport I have ever been in.

A few years ago it used to have a restaurant were you could relax while watching your loved ones fly away to a foreign land.

Now it is a barren, unwelcoming, intimidating entrance and I cannot fathom how many marbles they must have lost to have authorized such a soulless building and turned what used to be a beautiful amiable agrarian airport into a Stalag.

Apparently, once you get past passport control, it is very nice but I don’t think I will be sampling that particular experience any time soon.
