I was sat in the caff at EGBJ the other day and noticed a minor disagreement due to non-standard joins. Aircraft from North told to do an OHJ which necessitated it positioning to the South for deadside; aircraft from South given a left base join. Everything appeared OK until the OHJ aircraft had done the full procedure and was then told to continue downwind until advised as there was one joining ahead on a left base (cct direction is RH for RW27). OHJ Man got a bit flustered (how far downwind, can't see other traffic, overflying Cheltenham at 1000ft) and elected to go around. A few sharp words from OHJ Man and deathly silence on the radio.
It seemed to me that the OHJ aircraft followed the published procedure and was penalised because the other chap and ATC were trying to be clever. If I was OHJ Man, I would have said what's 'good for the goose is good for the gander' .............
