When I was a kid, the rich kids at school had all been somewhere long haul, and they'd all been to one of these amazing airports. They all talked about them. They went, "Oh, I went to Skipple. It's amazing. I bought a Walkman for like, you know, 120 quid. It's amazing. They got shops and everything and restaurants and everything."
Right. Okay. And then eventually it moved to Changi, and people came back and said, "Oh, I went to Singapore. It's amazing there. There's like a waterfall. There's this and there's that and the other."
Okay. And then it was Dubai. "Oh, I went to Dubai airport. It was fantastic. They've got this fantastic shopping mall and blah blah blah." And then eventually every bloody airport became a bloody shopping mall.
And the next thing you heard was, "Have you been to London City Airport? It's [ __ ] brilliant. There's hardly anything there." Right? And people suddenly go to London City Airport and go, "This is fantastic. I don't have to walk through Blue Water just to get to a plane."
While everybody's talking about one aspect of a trend, there's always something else going.
