"Lufthansa ****, clear next right".

Manch, OCT 72, 0300 ish, runway in use 24, work in progress on North Western taxiway. In the time it takes to write on a progress strip, B737 at a brisk walking pace carries on past the intended link to the "next" one. A very startled gang of road menders find a very noisy and bright illumination of their brew cans. Blessed be he who invented thrust reversers.

From that day forth, the clearance was strictly "first" right/left!
