This is a true story. While sitting on the cargo apron in DUB Saturday night about 6 years ago a BA ATP taxied in & parked. The captain then called S'air handling & asked why nobody was coming to offload his newspapers as he was running late & required a quick t/around. The S'air controller asked him to confirm his flight number & he would get back to him asap as he wasn't expecting him. The S'air controller called the captain back about 5 mins later again on VHF for all to hear & said "Yes (flight#) our colleagues in BFS are expecting you if you would like to make your way there" The ATP departed about 20 min's later without further fuss or RT transmissions to S'air.......
