Honestly I'm not joking! I can recall the scene quite clearly when a young(ish) TWR controller arrived at the top of the stairs to plug in after his break when I visited the old VCR at Newcastle a few years ago now.

'Wheey I've just had a Beeuurrger King' he announced in his slight Geordie dialect to his collegues as he made his arrival. Alarmed at first but then I thought ok perfectly normal. Loyally Keeping the airport services in business as an airport employee I thought, thats all. He could have brought with him a Doner Kebab takeaway from off the Bigg Market for all I care and heated up in the staff microwave for his Tea!!

Perhaps controllers at Heathrow would be inclined to choose a more healthier alternative for dinner!
