I took an ILS into Southend on New Years Day on my way back from Guernsey because I couldn't get back into the place I'd taken off from.
Although I felt that the landing / overnight parking fees were a bit on the steep side, one of the controllers very kindly offered to drive me to the railway station during his break!
I'd suggest that IF there are issues with SOME of the controllers there, it is most certainly not all of them. The fellow that took me to the station was an all round nice chap
