Can't condone that sort of behaviour. I am very much a "quiet life" merchant, I really can't be bothered to hassle a controller for the sake of saving 2 minutes. There are plenty of occasions when you get put in front of someone else and an equal number when the opposite happens, who cares.
Not sure if being young has anything to do with it, he may well have had a "speedy" skipper putting words in his mouth.
