And while we're on the subject, it seems to have become standard procedure to broadcast EVERY leg of the circuit. Is this really necessary..? Seems to be one of those things where people believe the more radio calls they make the safer it will be, but if you get multiple aircraft in the circuit it makes it hard for anyone inbound to get a call in..!
Also, while I'm having a whinge, to all the 'mumblers' out there, here's a suggestion - speak CLEARLY & CONCISELY and to all those who think it's impressive to rattle off a call at high speed, slow it down a bit so we can actually UNDERSTAND what you are saying.
Rant Off.
