ATC Dumpsters

Been blowin' a gale in Bleak City for about 2 days now (2000ft wind about 60 knots). Freezin' my ta ta's off, gettin' me down.

They coulda put this centre in Moruya, Batemans Bay, even Lakes Entrance would be better than this. Instead they located it at one of the most soulless airports I have visited.

C'mon Guys, Girls, cheer me up, where is your centre? Is it near a beach, lake? What's the year round temperature? What's the local talent look like?

Let me put it like this: We can see the first snow on the tops not to far from the airfield!


Talent: Good, but a 1/100 - talent/caveman ratio!

We have a fabulous view from our Tower. Sea to the south of us and a grand view of the North Somerset and Devon Coast.
The Welsh Mountains to the north of us, with Pen-y-Fan visible on good days ( yes we have plenty of them)

Large ships and small sailing yachts pass in front of us every day.
Then of course Cardiff itself is a superb city with everything you can wish for..
Weather never too bad at all, nope not complaining one iota.

Oops forgot the talent bit, well i am biased but Welsh men really do it for me

Cool

ZFW, not a bad place to work and in the middle of the summer is around 35 to 42c... Winter sometimes gets down to 0c but normally in the 14c range... For the most part, weather nice...

regards

Scott

Winnipeg ACC.

The short summer we get is great.

As to winter......... every been in -39C BEFORE windchill? Ever had wet hair and walked outside to have it freeze in seconds? You get the idea.

That's what the Gods gave you for exclaiming once: "If I ever see real snow in Bournemouth I'll run naked along Boscombe Pier! " (or similar!)
