Skies Over Britain. TV programme

I hope all Swanwick NATS controllers don't have the same attitude, shown by the two FIS persons. Neither showed much knowledge of the activity they work with.
One said. "You'd never get me up in one of those"
And the lady who implied GA aircraft a bit of a safety worry as they not maintained properly, like Comercial planes. Obviously hasn't heard of mandatory 50/100 hr checks,oil changes etc. etc.
Thought their 21st Century workstation a bit crude too. Pins stuck in a wallchart, and bits of paper. A radar screen nearby appears not to be used??
