Some examples of recommended phraseology for UK ATCOs:-

"Climb FL One Hundred"

"Turn right heading one zero zero degrees"

"Speed two one zero knots"

It also helps ATCOs monitor the pilot readback if they use the same format, and most pilots do.

Using 'hundreds' for headings rather defeats the objective of the first two examples in avoiding possible confusion between a heading and level instruction!
