You have to credit our American cousins with a quick wit. This is an oldy but definately a goldie -
us pilot: "London xxx, may we route direct Stabbs?"
atc: "xxx roger, direct routing approved. Oh by the way it's
Saint Abbs."
.......... short but obviously thoughtful pause .........
us pilot: "London xxx we have a further request."
atc: "xxx go ahead."
us pilot: "After
Saint Abbs may we route direct
Saint Rumble?"
What a beauty
