Angel Puzzled Pilot

Ladies & Gents

It's some time since I've ventured into this particular lions' den. My ears are still ringing from the last time!

Since then I've been compulsorily retired from 35 years of longhaul flying with BOAC/BA.

Being incapable of doing a proper job, thank God, I've re-invented myself as a Lo-Co Frogbus pilot, and had an Orange chip implanted in what remains of the grey matter.

Now ... two things I have noted in my new European/Domestic playpen.

1) Europe is more 'foreign' than the rest of the world.

2) The BIG question I was hoping you could help me with.

Why do all the controllers 'down south' have Scots accents, and all those north of the border ... even unto INV ... have English accents?

Just wondering ...

Thanks

Chris
