    Thanks, all, for humouring my frazzled little brain.

    I've named my price and will wait and see. I've refused a perm arrangement with TCS and told them I'd want a fixed term contract instead.

    Worst case scenario(s): a) They/client say no; b) They/client say yes, I take it, don't like and leave.

    Either way, I'm only back to where I started this morning.

    Thanks again!
    I need closure on this anecdote!

        Heathrow still busy - the hard part will be getting them to the airport in the first place though!

          I think you'll find it's really not; less than 300 movements a day

            If LGW has 1/4 of that number, then it's purely due to a dodgy curry in the staff canteen.

              300 flights, average 100 on board. 30,000 untested people straight into the heart of London.

                Sounds like a regular consignment of new TCS workers...
                Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

                  300 movements <> 300 flights landing.

                  And most flights are either empty (shifting planes around to find somewhere to mothball them for a couple of months), or are repatriation flights with very few pax. By "very few" I mean < 20.

                    Eh up, Anal Dave's in again. And he's not called that because he has a blue movie career.

                      No it's about 50/50 arriving/departing

                      I believe arrivals are fuller than departures
