"Lots of disgruntled (former) employees on here, it seems."
See, that's what happens when you give a pair of cuff-links to the short-sleeved slackers. Or give a tie to a T-shirted oick. Management needs to think outside the b......x.

OTB

Any bids for my NATS cuff-links? I was distressed to find that my only long-sleeved shirt seems to have buttons at the sleeves, so rendering the nice cuff-link idea rather obsolete.

This whole thread has made me chuckle soooo much!!!
If only we all had a dress code to worry about! Folks are losing jobs all over the place and people are moaning cos they might have to put on a pair of trousers instead of a pair of jeans!!! How bonkers is that? They should be thrown to the lions!!

Maybe you should have some NATS Uniform Trial Sessions run by NATS International Trade Supplies before you decide.

Is that the NATS tartan?

Looks like a tablecloth.

Mind you my "Black Watch" tartan looks a bit like a blanket.

Tableview,

You're a cheapskate, out to con OTB! Your Zim note was dated 2008? What's a hundred trill worth now?

Due to a fluctuating exchange rate, my bid is now Pln 5.521413.

-.. .-. . ... ... / -.-. --- -.. .

Blimey, I'm still doing the long division on the exchange rate for my 100 trillion Zimbo dollars to see if I should accept the very generous offer. Now the Polish New Zloty has appreciated, or have I got that wrong? Or should I accept the drachmas? That could be a very smart move given that the Greeks are going to have to give back all their Euros. Hehe, I'd have the only 100 drachmas in existence. Mmm, what to do.

Meanwhile, my vote goes to the very dapper pink number being modelled by the Swanwick Sector Controller. How do I know this? Well look at his left hand. His thumb is about to hit the Press-to-Talk switch on the airbrushed-out mic box. What a guy.

OTB

P.S. The cuff-links come in a very nice see-through, plastic box.

Must be a TC controller then as we're not trusted with push to talk switches in AC

Lots of disgruntled (former) employees on here, it seems.
Why is it you never seem to hear about gruntled employees?

I have never felt more gruntled, probably 'cos I don't go to work anymore.

Popped into the ops room for the first time today since the royal edict was issued, and surprise surprise, absolutely no difference.

You can claim tax relief for your uniform (well, we can for our natty pale blue Network Rail t-shirts); one of which I am currently modelling in between trains.

Mind you the thickness of the material diminshes each year it seems.
