How do you read? – Ye got yer lugs oan?
I say again – Wan-mer-time pal

It'll never fly!

English ATCOs, (Or at the very least non-Scots,) must account for approximately 50% of all ATCOs at the exisiting Scottish Centre.

Given that the Manchester Centre will be joining the Scottish Centre to form the Prestwick Centre in 2009/2010, the majority of ATCOs at the new Prestwick Centre will be English/non-Scots.

You'd be better off starting to teach the Jocks how to speak Mancunian!

Anyone from 'Manch' care to give us their version of the above choice phrases? Go on Niteflite01, you know you're up for it!
