   What are you babbling about?   
      
   The operator did a good job. Someone has called for it to be recognised.   
   The method, in my view, isn't appropriate, but that doesn't detract from   
   his efforts.   
      
   You are, as always, just turning the matter into another opportunity to   
   have a go at the current system. It must really get up your nose that an FL   
   holder did such a fine job.   
      
   I'm almost tempted to join the campaign to have him awarded a Full Licence,   
   just to wind you up.
