Reminds me of an 'incident' at CDG many years back when I was 'barrelling' down the ILS on 27. Strongish southerly crosswind. Regional Nigel cleared 'immediate' from intermediate and, I think, one of the 'new' DanAir/BA guys cleared line up full length, 'be ready'. Regional Nigel then started muttering about the wind being out of limits and did not move. Pseudo Nigel confirmed fully ready. I was getting closer to a runway with metallic obstructions. To this day, I swear I do not know who said it, but a voice piped up and said 'Nigel - either sh1t or get off the pot". Regional limped off with tail between legs, Pseudo rolled, I landed. It appears things may not have changed.
