galaxy flyer....absolutely!

My recolections of a flight many years ago in the north of England (very close to a city named MANCHESTER).

The conversation went something like this:

Me: "Request joininhg Instructions"
Them: "We are closed - you can't land"
Me: "I have to land, my navlights are not working and it's dark up here"
Them: "You can't land - we're closed"
Me: "I'm landing anyway - give me a clue as to which runway to use."
Them: No, you can't land, we are closed.
Me: Watch this!
Them: "We will report you"
Me: "Please note the quality of my landing in your report"

After landing they refused to give taxi instructions!
