You are somewhat behind the times. The CAA in the UK legislated this about 10 years ago and it is an ICAO requirement that even if a country only has one 8.33 kHz channel in use, then anything other than 4 digit channels must be referred to using 6 digits.
I had a seat on the UK Phraseology Working Group at the time and the annoying thing was, we had only just got the military ATC system to abbreviate 25 kHz channels by leaving off the '5' at the end, then it all changed again!
