What frustrates me is poor spelling, poor grammar and someone trying to be 'clever' by abbreviating, i.e. Rampy.

God help us all.

If you are indeed a rampy, then you should know whether you are legally entitled to put the aircraft on stand/blocks.

I suspect this is a spotters question.

He's asking a casual question on an internet forum, not writing a letter to The Times...

What has a make-believe character called God got to do with things?

simonchowder.. Just read your posting again, carefully - spelling? punctuation? I looked at your profile and was astonished as you, too, come over as an illiterate!

I think the normal term brs for someone who works on the ramp as a ground handler etc is not a rampy but a ramp- tramp

Amazing thing I have witnessed. brs planespotter gets a dressing down on this thread, yet on another, Rainboe gives him a civil and polite response to his question.

Has the earth shifted on its axis?

Oops, silly me. Forgot.

Walt.

Whoops! Browser Settings Incompatible

Edit: Funny thing this link above. It works (for me) but it has this strange title.

There was me thinking a Walt was someone who, like Walt Disney, was good at telling fairy stories!!
The ramp tramp who started this thread, and continued it, with his lack of capitals, punctuation and paragraphs (we all make spelling mistakes) shows a total lack of respect for his intended audience.
If you want people to read, understand and reply to your posts then please make them readable by using the conventions detailed above. If you do not care whether it is read, understood and replied to then why bother to post.

How ones day job of teaching paramedics to drive fast relates to this thread I do not know!
