Can I have a junior moment?

Solo circuit consolidation during my basic PPL training, fully established runway 31 at Blackpool. Three hundred feet to go, ATC demand "Go Around".

Ooooh! Aviate, Navigate, Communicate. OK, no response to tower yet, but is it full power OR reduce the drag to make the flying easier?

Left the trickle of power, dropped flap lever (PA28) from full 40° to zero in one swift move.

I don't do that anymore.
