Reminds me of years back late one evening on Clacton....Phoned Maastricht; "Can I send Big Jet 123 direct any where?" (expecting Gerninghausen) .....a very German voice answered " Negative it must route via Redfa" . That's odd, I thought. Phone from Maastricht goes about 30 seconds later. This time a Dutch voice said "why don't you send Big Jet 123 direct to Gerninghausen?" I thanked him and explained what his colleague had said only seconds earlier. "ah" he said "we have a special technical term for him". "Whats that then? " I asked. "We call him a f***ing idiot" he said.
