Re: happy cleaners

As written it means nothing. Turns out it was just a poor translation of the Latin phrase, sagaciter latrina opus est tersus latrina opus.

Re: happy cleaners

Sorry. The Latin was a joke. I wish I could tell you what it means, but we're not allowed to talk about it.

Re: happy cleaners

Mad Buzzard,
To put simply, my original "signature" was We Aim To Please. ie to try and keep pilots and handlers etc happy. We were chatting one day about various "dirty" jobs and cleaning loos' came up...so I added It Keeps The Cleaners Happy.
You have probably seen it on ATC posts because I work in ATC
Usually I post watp,iktch......
Hope this helps
Thanx av8boy
