“On one occasion, a Green Death senior lieutenant commander, phoned down to our mess to ask something, though we never found out what. It’s worth noting that when answering a mess phone, it’s usually done with some witty comment like ‘Nelsons Column, duty pigeon speaking.’ On this occasion the phone rang, and Neil answered, ‘“War Office, who wants a fight?”’
The FOST lieutenant commander shouted, ‘“Who is the imbecile on the end of this phone’?” to which Neil answered, ‘“Which end?’” then promptly slammed the phone down.”
