Working on the following basis:

FIS - a NON-RADAR service. Radar derived traffic information would have been a RIS. Even if you identify the aircraft the pilot must not be misled into thinking he is receiving a radar service.

So - FIS traffic information becomes "Yak at 2500 crossing the motorway services westbound" instead of "traffic in your 2 o'clock range 8 miles crossing right to left"

Admittedly my use of the word 'radar derived' was probably not quite right - but according to the books you can't give RIS type info on a FIS, so you alter it accordingly (does that make sense?)

The grin hasn't stopped yet - especially as I've done 50% more radar in 3 days than I have in the previous 3 months!
