The controller had a runway to control. The pilots should have been more co-operative, whatever was 'going on in the cockpit'. 'End of'.
How would that Nigel have squealed if he had been an aircraft having to go around due to the self-importance of some git lining up when he is not ready and then arguing with ATC about it?!! This all really just comes down to good manners. Nigel was lacking. (What's "taking a phone call" all about at that stage???!!)
