Standard Noise,
I worked for Britannia/Thomsonfly at Bristol from the late '80s to '05 and always considered that we and ATC had a pretty good working relationship and mutual respect. The tone of your post was offensive (deliberately or not) and it was inaccurate. I hope your chums in ATC are not in hysterical agreement with you - and feel that an apology would not go amiss.
My regards to your colleagues!
