Slightly off topic, but being a paranoid so and so, do ATCO's have a black book?
By this I mean when applying for a Zone transit obviously being on ones best behaviour and trying ones best to be a good boy on the radio, do they/you mutter under their/your breath "Oh no not him again " and lean more towards a refusal if us armatures are in the book.
I do try my best, Honest injun, but sometimes having asked for a transit think Sheet, that was not good and expect a polite refusal. Do you have my C/S in your black books?.....No not telling you
I must say however that contrary to many horror stories about those dreaded atco's they have been very helpful on most occasions , not all, but most.
