Only threaten? Pity all winch drivers are not up to the Wotherspoon
standard, right every time.


Where I live, threatening somebody with physical violence is considered
a crime, and realizing this threat is considered a major crime.

Legal questions aside, a pilot who chose to threat me with whatever
would never again get a launch from me, not even a bad one. Frankly, I
consider such comments plain primitive.

Where I fly the standard winch driver response is "Aye, right! You and
whose army?" Followed by, as the exchange gets more heated.

"Dis yer Maw sew? Well get her to stitch this." accompanied by a
Glasgow Kiss.

These are of course mere preliminaries to a full blooded punch up with the
victor giving the vanquished a lift to the local hospital A&E department
and then on to the Pub.
