Being more specific, could I propose a few bits of unnecessary verbage that could get happily chopped out of A/G or AFIS conversations:-

- "call finals", why is an instruction being given for a standard practice?
- "say point of departure", they'll know when you sign in and it's scarcely relevant just at the moment.
- "say Captain's name", ditto - you've signed out or are about to sign in after you'velanded.
- "Please avoid noise sensitive areas", they are in Pooleys, I also phoned for a briefing, I'm a responsible aviator, I wouldn't do otherwise.
