Lawerboy, congrats on the QXC, but I’m glad I did mine before you – I probably wouldn’t have gone if I’d read your post first . . .
Of course, there’s the one guaranteed ‘get out of jail free’ card if you’re, ahem, temporarily uncertain of your position:
Dial up 121.5, make sure it’s nice and quiet, and go:
“TRAINING FIX (x3), LONDON CENTRE, G-LOST, REQUEST TRAINING FIX”
A very nice man in blue will then triangulate your position on his ordinance survey, and give you your position to within 2-3 miles.
Your can then put on your best BA captain on a sunday morning jolly accent and say:
“THANK YOU SIR, THAT’S WHAT I’VE GOT”
And for good measure, when he asks you if you require any further assistance, say:
“REQUEST HEADING TO STEER TO CAMBRIDGE”
Been there, watched them do it. It’s not like dialling 999 – they really are happy to help you out whenever you need it.
FFF & BBD – I’ll see you at the bar, (I’ll be the one tying my shoelaces very slowly).
