Probably better than being a lorry-driver for NATS.

Hat, coat, P45..........

Er I wonder if Norbert Dessantrangle (sorry if I've spelt that wrong; had a few glasses of vino this evening) have vacancies too.
The list of reponsibilites looks like it was written by someone with a mandate to make it look as complicated as possible.

chevvron,
I'm sure you mean 'Dentressangle'.
This is actually a navigational term, the difference between observed radar heading and truck made good.

Thought it looked odd when I pressed 'submit'; this Italian white is stronger than I thought.

I wanna tell you a story.
We went to Sorrento (actually Piano de Sorrento, about 2 miles east of the main town) back in September, and every bottle of wine I got from the local supermarket (even the bottles costing 2.65 euros) was highly palatable, so since we came back, we've been drinking Italian wines, but they're never as good as the ones you get over there.
Typical Italians; keep the good stuff and send us the rubbish. No I don't really mean that, but you get my drift.

I reckon it's more likely that they simply refuse to drink the rubbish over there. Whereas here we will, the rubbish costs a fiver and the bottle that was £2.65 in Italy finds itself on the UK supermarket shelf for at least £10...

'Amarone' Valpolicella and you won't look back. Ok it's a red and not a white but then Frascati is my choice nel vino bianco.......As for Eddie Stobart advertising for an ATCO it's about time those jet's were fitted with tachograph's......

If you were employed as a controller by Eddie Stobart, would you be encouraged to put a female name on the front of your control tower?

In a word yes... Except for the stereo types.

Barnaby,
that is superb!

EGMC. - Another location that all 'Eddie spotters' MUST visit then, in order to 'cop' the fleet.

Radar,
belated 'thank-you's for your kind comments above.
