shy-one,
You are correct. His wife flew him to the pub in her helicopter and he was able to have a few pints of Adnams because he was a passenger.
However, I would still like to know how my post was offensive. My post didn't even mention stik. I certainly didn't say he'd been operating an aircraft after he'd consumed a few beers.
I think stiknruda owes me an apology. In fact, he probably owes me a beer ...
