When I worked at LATCC and LHR we had beds, it's a shame that the poor guys in the USA have to sleep in their chairs, how uncomfortable. I remember one guy at LATCC used to get into a sleeping bag whilst on the console. It was the middle of the night though and no traffic only the cleaners kept him awake.

"There was a chap at LATCC who used to vector the planes around his book 'cos the flat top radars made an ideal book rest. T'was a long time ago on Brs/Stu."

When we all (a lot of us) wore shirts and ties for work; I've seen people vector around their tie as it was lying across the radar
