Handler? Haha do you work for Special Branch? Or the Circus? (ask yer dad, he may have watched Smiley's People.)Originally posted by mattfx View PostWe get on well - however the airport I am at has a 0 tolerance policy to alcohol which my "handler" as I refer to him, like reminding people of every now and again if they're joshing around about how drunk they got over the weekend. Nice enough guy, but total jobsworth when it comes to that sort of thing. Kinda chap who wouldn't risk more than one beer the night before coming to work in case it "broke policy" - that sort of thing.
