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.
Those broadcasts of EVERY leg of the circuit really tick me off! I feel like yelling "just shut up & do it already!"
Also, what's with calling "inbound" to an aerodrome when you're actually not landing but overflying for somewhere else? Never been able to figure that one out!
