Hey Fly Through, point taken about giving you the aircraft too early and yes I have seen guys in the centre do this, not just to you guys but also to the other units around us.
I do have an issue with making concrete rules on when to hand off aircraft ie. 60 NM from 10NM final. I hand off aircraft based on when and where I think you will need to talk to the aircraft. If I have a sequence of aircraft and I have them all set up with speeds, I won't give you the first aircraft and not the second 2 aircraft as too many times I've had Dubai put the brakes on the first guy and have the two left on my freq. run up the back of the guy on yours. So bottom line I will hand off the aircraft when I think you should have them, that includes keeping them longer if I need that. If I get that wrong sometimes then ok, I apologise.
If you do get aircraft given to you really early, then do what I did to Nimmer (that is if Nimmer is who shoo the gap says he is) one day when I got a really unclean handoff, and that is give the aircraft back.
