Thanks for the fantastic Halfie story. Here's another one:

I was a little sprogg working the back galley of a VC10. Half Pint was Chief Steward.

During the main meal service he walked through the cabin asking the passengers if all was well. One pax said ' well my entree was not very hot'.

Halfie appeared in the galley and asked why the meals weren't hot enough. I said they had been cooked for the required time.

He pulled himself up to his full four foot six held one finger up in front of my face and said:

" use your f*****g fermometer".

I remember it so well so many, many years later.
