Eff Oh, judging by the literary reaction to Harry's faux pas I wouldn't want to throw the cat back amongst the pidgeons but; did working behind the Tesco deli at sixteen pay you so well that you are subsequently able to write "Therefore I paid for it myself", in respect of your training? If it did I'm off to my local supermarket straight away!
Irrespective of how you did it you've done very well to fly 757's at 22 BUT, the way you jump on Harry's comments, no matter how ridiculous or ill-informed they are, does reflect a level of immaturity. Simmer down.
