lost on freq...
A spanish pilot got lost on our frequency, so, since we couldn't speak to him, we thought that he might be in rcf:
ATC: "C/S123, is you read, squawk ident."
A/C: "Roger, squawking ident, C/S123."

I had an American VFR pilot call up and ask for the weather at (phonetically) "Mara - Ka - Dor - e"
had me scratching my head until I figured out he meant Maroochydore. (Ma-roo-chee-door)

Not that it ever came up as regards ATC, but just down the road from St Rumble, sorry, Strumble, is Stan's, sorry, St Annes.

Lon - if an F-111 can fly all the way from Lakenheath to Libya with multiple inflight refuels, and
still find the
French embassy, I'm pretty sure 350 nm was no problem for them at all. And I did say it was a story. Search under "life: getting a".

Walls-eye was a common one from Americans, maybe still is. And I once heard Cree-wee for Crewe!

On PAR - "4 miles, Cxxxx to roll and join"
tower - "call by 2"
PAR - "2 1/4 miles, Cxxxx to roll and join"
tower - "break off the approach, idiot on the runway"
i just started laughing, probably one of those situations you just had to be there
