I have a photograph of the ATC radar controller's desk at an airfield in Europe. The pretty assistant (been doing the job for 6 weeks, no training) is sitting at the desk, guarding the beer (his second) of the controller who hasn't been seen for 20 minutes. It is 11am. Two airliners have called for departure instructions in the time he has been absent.
Probably not the best ATC service in the World....
(Guess the brand of beer)
