There's not much mistaking me being sarcastic.

I just thought you might have learned some subtlety! :D

Oh, and I do realise that the 'clock face' method is only a rough
guide, and do know how to calculate crosswind component 'properly' on
a whizz wheel.


Well, the clock face thing is more than enough in most cases. It's really
only for take off and landing, but even if you used it for tracking
enroute, it'd still be pretty close as a rough guide unless you were making
some long overwater leg or something. Even then, unless you were just
looking for some tiny little island...
