Never mind the back-biting; STAN really does exist. In view of NATS tie-up with AENA, if you translate 'National Air Traffic Services' into Spanish, the abbreviation is STAN.
Oops! Doh! Forgot. NATS doesn't stand for National Air Traffic Services any more. Forget this post.

Su español es en el mejor de los casos dañado. It would be Tráfico Aéreo Nacional Services.

Like what you get when you sit out in the Spanish sun ..... tans.

Well, well well, welcome back Mr Stan. We have all been missing you !

I notice Stan that none of your cronies appears to be able to afford
a tie ? You are a scruff Stan and a nasty one at that.

Yes, well done Dave. You scrubbed up well.
I trust you were better behaved than you were the last time you had a camera pointed at you in there?

Ahhh, I never knew that you trod these boards. In fact, I am surprised that they bear your not inconsiderable weight...

p7,

hold at SATAN

As I gather from your rubbish moniker (it means name) that you are a Heathrow ATCO, I need not take any sartorial tips from you as, with the exception of myself and certain A watch controller, there is not a stylish ATCO amongst you all. My suit was actually made to measure by those fine gents at Prada.

I think perhaps you ought to concentrate on what you claim to do best and leave the real work for the 4th floor.
