I was also under the impression a none controlled field couldn't use the words takeoff as A/G aren't allowed to issue a clearance?
From CAP413:
In the UK, additional phrases, LAND At YOUR DISCREtION and tAKE-OFF At YOUR DISCREtION are used.
eg by an Aerodrome Flight Information Service Officer (AFISO) who cannot give a clearance - only "advice and information useful for the safe and efficient conduct of flights in the Aerodrome Traffic Zone."
These phrases may be used under certain conditions and indicate that a landing clearance or a take-off clearance cannot be issued and any landing or take-off is to be conducted at the pilot’s discretion.
eg
G-CD, runway 06 take-off at your discretion, surface wind 270 degrees 15 knots
Runway 06 taking off G-CD
