Some years ago, with the CO sitting next to me in that hot Bulldog greenhouse, I took great comfort with his authoritative voice announcing we were down wind to roll. Fast forward a few years to private flying and I took up an entire downwind leg and extended base leg, arguing with some ATC bod who had not a clue about the phrase. For the sake of harmony/ safety, I ceased using it.
