I struggle with the comments about wasting the controllers time, particularly if it is for a jolly

1. The controller is getting paid to do a job, and if you are paying the landing fee you are contributing to his salary. If the airport authority agrees you are paying your way commercially frankly the controllers views are pretty irrelevant.

2. There are an awful lot of passengers flying in and out of commercial airports on "jollies" - if you are going on holiday presumably you are on a jolly.
