Thanks Whirley! For the record, the ones I got wrong were not perhaps of the "important" category. My comment "a pass is a pass" was meant to display my disappointment after getting much higher marks in the mocks. I think it was a case of exam nerves!!
There are few people that take safety and it's associated rules more seriously than myself. For the past 40 years I have worked in a very dangerous environment, where one mistake can seriously injure people. My other passion is sailing, and I take my 38' yacht across the Channel through some of the busiest shipping lanes in the world, and in the Atlantic as far as the Canaries. I would never put myself, my crew or indeed my boat in harms way - I am a very cautious sailor. Sensible comment/advice I certainly welcome, but I do not need the likes of someone who calls himself "Gertrude the Wombat" (!) lecturing me on the need to take the rules of flying anything other than very seriously.
If I've overreacted to his aggressively put comments, then so be it......
