Had you not given up on the smoking?

I used to love Stansted. Small, practical, easy to get in and out of and closer to North London than the others.
However, this is reliant on it not being busy. When it gets busy it simply cant cope and everything falls apart. I used to fly back from Ireland with Ryanair which meant you didnt have to get on the little train, no passport control and if you only have carry on luggage nobody can **** you over. Straight out the door.
All airports are ****.
I use Stansted for football trips and it is grand.
On arrival I am out of the place within 15 minutes and on departure I am normally a little under the weather so I just sit down and surround myself with soft drink beverages.
I then board the plane and return home.
Not sure what the problem is. Airports are busy places what with people and security etc and it is July after all.
Well, based on my experience not having luggage will help. Sadly, most people who travel do. And not too sure how you were getting out of Stansted in 15 minutes. We arrived from an EU country and even those with UK passports were waiting in massive queues only to be faced with brain dead, unhelpful, antagonistic UK immigration muppets.
