Yep .. . the odour of patronisation is there alright. (Might suggest "put a sock in it" . . . but it would be one pretty putrid , if it was chucked at the wall, it would probably hang there). segue again . . . .. the late Harry Purvis used to do C & T for the old Connellan Airways. He was interviewed once by the local radio station (of which I happen to still have a transcript).
HARRY : "Well I have flown with all sorts in a long civil and air force career, but recently here on one of the station runs out of Alice Springs I was startled to see my FO bring out her knitting. Sitting there plying the old needles, Christine did not turn a hair. When I told this to Eddie (Connellan) he was highly amused." (In 'History and Nostalgia' there is a recent request for Connellan stories sought for a forthcoming biography.)
