Hi all,
There seems to be some mild confusion over what constitutes a ‘Full Patterson’; a ‘Half Patterson’; a ‘Patterson Lite’; and a ‘Patterson with trimmings’ or a ‘Full Patterson, hold the banter’.
As someone involved in the brewing of the first ‘Full Patterson’ (TM) I’d like to give the core recipie.
A ‘Full Patterson’, to be authentic, must include:
Export from original country
Over 10 aviation museums
Over 100 ‘new’ aircraft seen
At least 3 aviation events
Over 8 pints of real beer in one evening, consumed by the subject
Over 2,000,000,000 roundabouts (Not sure Steve saw THIS many, but that’s what he claims…)
Several multinational war graves and associated memorials
Threats of death if export of aircraft is attempted.
Andy in Beds, Moggy C and the others who added the original cherries on a stick, umberellas, more Vodka etc. to the original cocktail, may add or amend. For some reason, even with the flashbacks, I can’t seem to remember it all.
Doctor?
Nurse?
Cheers

This could be another ‘Fudpucker World Airways’.

Sure, feel free to use the term. I’m afraid my lawyer is rather busy. It’s the ropes he’s tied up with.

JDK,
The undersigned fellow antipodean apologies for apparently misusing a TM saying in another thread.
Is it possible that further discussions could take place with a view to signing a licence for the use of the term? I find it fully descriptive of the type of tour taken by a visitor, and his wife, to these shores some years ago and although their tour was in some ways less broadly based than the original description Trade Marked by your good self (and associates), most of the conditions you detail were met, in fact or in spirit (lots of Spirit (s). I therefore discounted the tour by describing the Mark12 tour as a “quarter Patterson” to better reflect its more modest nature.
Can I have my lawyer call your lawyer to discuss the matter further?
