ISTR said lady at Wattisham used to offer what was known as an '0898 Talkdown' on night PARs when it was quiet. This involved lots of non-standard phraseology such as "Left a bit more, up a bit... Oh Yes! There! That's it! Don't stop..." etc, along with some other associated sound effects.

The Edwardian General would probably have succumbed to apoplexy had he heard one, or at least had to go and wash his hands! On second thoughts, he probably wouldn't have understood it anyway, as he insists on eating everything with a knife and fork.
