Funny exchange on Guard
I wonder if anyone heard this little episode on 121.5 a couple of days ago...
Was late aft and we were somewhere over the North Sea. I was PNF and monitoring guard on box2...
A Golf registered (light?) AC calls up London Centre asking for a training fix. He calls again without reply.............
About 45 secs later, London Centre comes up ( they were obviously busy at time of 1st two calls) , "G-**** London Centre"
At this point, a Guard 'Policeman' comes up with the standard put-down for those arseholes who misuse the frequency, "You're on Guard"
London Centre unsurprisingly respond with, "I know..."
Someone else (presumably referring to the 'policeman'), "Tossers"
London Centre, "Language PLEASE!"
I almost peed my pants - a comedy script writer couldn't have done a better job - the timings/intonnations of the various comments were spot on!!
