Do appreciate the service and coordination it requires as it saves a lot of time for us (provided no glider activity as then I always stick to CAS NATEB/AGPED/HAVEN)
I have worked with ATCOs who nornally say no to any requests, not because it's not safe or generates too much workload, but just because they can't be arsed. Saying No to everything is an easy answer and you can't go wrong.
It's not a type of ATCO I am particularly proud to work with, but unfortunately they do exist.
