OK, How about this one:

I've spent most of my flying career in OZ, the last two in the UK.
One phrase that always had me foxed was the
'Descend to XXX', further with the glide.'

On the face of it I suppose it means intercept the glideslope and keep on going. I couldn't find anywhere the phraseology so wouldn't descend until we were 'Cleared for the approach', much to the consternation of some of the FO's.

Who was right?
