Mentaleena, it's our job to be pouncy and over correct, because when you give an incorrect readback or not do something you are told to do, then your safety and the safety of your passengers is potentially compromised.

Our job is to keep you safe in the skies, your job is to fly the aircraft and do what you are told to do UNLESS YOU FEEL YOUR SAFETY WOULD BE COMPROMISED.

Your clearance limit from MACC would have been CHASE therefore until squidge issued an instruction to you to "Turn left/right heading xxx! or "Fly Heading xxx" or "Continue on present heading" you are not being vectored and your clearance is to CHASE and ONLY TO CHASE.

Being told you will be vectored for an ILS to 33 is not vectoring you, it is informing you that you WILL receive radar vectors and not have to fly the procedure.
