Well, it shouldnt be too difficult to work out! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="tongue.gif" /> . .As far as I know, there are currently only two atco's at Sheffield* at the moment, one has a strong Indian accent, and the other doesn't.. .. .*This follows the decision of the new owners to employ their own atco's and kick out the contractors, unfortunately no one seems to want to work for them! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="tongue.gif" />

I think we should all be really very nice to the ATCOs there, and give them a friendly call, because it must be sooooo boring there. There's hardly a lot going on.

Question

I needed to go to Sheffield when they first opened but discovered they only accept twins. Is this why it's so quiet?
