There is an (older?) chap on London freq who is about the second/third person I talk to heading out of Stansted who is amazingly chirpy. It is always a pleasure to talk to him. There is also a chap on the ground freq at EGSS who is scarily chirpy.
Makes the day happier - thanks guys and gals.
(And to the very very few ATC given to sarcarsm - it doesn't benefit anyone thanks.)
