All You Need Is Luton: airport writes Beatles lyric on its walls
- Artists:
- The Beatles »
Words from The Beatles' 'All You Need Is Love', penned by John Lennon, are to be written on the walls of Luton airport.
The song title - "All you need is love" - was voted the greatest words of all time in an Internet poll run by Luton First, a body charged with promoting Luton. "All you need is love" proved more popular with the public than lines from the Bible and those uttered by Winston Churchill.
Paul Kehoe, Managing Director of Luton Airport, told reporters: "The winning quotation is a great choice as the words will send out an immediate, positive and life-affirming message to all visitors arriving in the UK at London Luton Airport".
Tony Edwards, PR for Luton First, said: "It was interesting to see that the title of a 1960s song should be in the forefront of public imagination more than 40 years on."
DiScuss: Is love all you need? How about a passport? Can't imagine disgruntled travellers being pacified by a Beatles song when their entry is refused, can you?

"WELCOME TO LUTON!
YOU'RE NEVER LEAVING"

"the words will send out an immediate, positive and life-affirming message to all visitors arriving in the UK at London Luton Airport" ... because they need some consolation at this point.

If I remember rightly, Luton ousted Hull as crappest town in the UK in the Idler's Crap Towns II: The Nation Decides
All You Need Is Luton: airport writes Beatles lyric on its walls
i think the (official) crappest town in the UK at the moment is cumbernauld, a horrible little place just north of glasgow.
theres a poll going on somewhere i think for channel 4 to vote for the worst building in the uk, then theyre going to demolish it.
cumbernauld town centre is number 1.

Coming from Luton i have to say that it'd take a damn sight more than Lennons lyrics to reassure you about being there! It's beyond crap.
Re: All You Need Is Luton: airport writes Beatles lyric on its walls
I grew up there and moved to Bedford in my teens.
Literally the only good thing about that part of the country is that it's VERY VERY easy to get away from via train.

The only thing I like about Luton is that we get to make jokes about the place, and nobody defends Luton because Luton-ers know its all true. :)

aaah, the beatles legendary lyrical prowess. Scott Walker must be shaking in his boots.
Personally I'd have selected something from one of their other masterpieces, such as 'yellow submarine' or 'maxwells silver hammer'
perhaps 'yellow matter custard dripping from a dead dogs eye' would be a more appropriate choice for luton
blimey!....
