You may be right about them all being away on trips. I can't really help much, since I work for the other Britannia - you know, those rather pale-faced, weary looking gollum-crew who do all that tedious mundane shorthaul stuff that takes place while the much superior MAN & LGW super-crew are lying on the beach. You'll be pleased to hear that us drones are working rather hard at the moment, almost at Summer levels, which means that we're putting lots or lovely money in the bank to pay for your allowances when you go on those trips.
Yes, that's right! I am in a very bad mood today.
