At the risk of being totally politically incorrect, I'd be a bit concerned if someone landed close to cars/objects/people in a car park; otherwise, how many beer drinkers in t'pub climbed into their cars and then drove home, some after considerably more than one pint (of shandy, perhaps)?

Not too many years ago, a pint (or two) at lunchtime in the wardroom was quite normal, and the Frogs would go a step better and have a litre of wine on the lunch table All followed by 'Hands to Flying Stations'

With advancing years my preference is for a cup of caffeine, and commercial operations preclude any alcohol at all, but I'm blowed if I'd feel terribly aggrieved if I saw a PPL doing what I (and many of my friends) would have thought quite acceptable. Does the green eyed God of Jealousy have anything to do with the disapproval shown here?
